Activity

• Physical Risks:
  • Sharp objects like scissors can cause cuts or injuries. Ensure adult supervision at all times when children are using them.
  • Non-toxic paints can still cause skin irritation or allergic reactions in some children. Have wet wipes or a mild soap and water solution ready for quick clean-ups.
  • Recyclable materials like glass or metal cans can have sharp edges. Inspect and prepare these materials beforehand to ensure they are safe for children to handle.
  • Ensure the art area is well-ventilated to prevent children from inhaling fumes from glue or paints.
• Emotional Risks:
  • Children may feel overwhelmed or frustrated if they are unable to execute their artistic vision. Offer guidance and support to help them overcome challenges.
  • Encourage a positive and inclusive environment during the mini art exhibition to prevent any child from feeling left out or discouraged.
• Environmental Risks:
  • Ensure all household items and recyclable materials are safe for children to handle and do not pose any environmental hazards.
  • Teach children the importance of properly disposing of any leftover materials to prevent environmental pollution.

Warnings and precautions for the activity:

• Ensure all materials are child-safe and non-toxic to prevent ingestion or skin irritation.
• Supervise the use of scissors to avoid accidental cuts or injuries.
• Be cautious with glue to prevent accidental ingestion or contact with eyes.
• Check for any allergies to materials like paints or recyclable items used in the artwork.
• Monitor children closely to prevent choking hazards from small items or recyclable materials.
• Consider sensory sensitivities to certain textures or smells of materials used.
• Provide sun protection if the activity takes place outdoors to prevent sunburn.

• Be prepared for potential cuts or scrapes from handling scissors or sharp objects. Have a first aid kit with bandages, antiseptic wipes, and gloves readily available.
• If a child gets a minor cut or scrape, wash the wound with soap and water, apply an antiseptic wipe, and cover it with a bandage to prevent infection.
• Children may accidentally ingest non-toxic paint or glue. If this occurs, stay calm and immediately contact poison control or seek medical help. Have the product container ready for reference.
• Watch out for potential allergic reactions to materials like glue or paints. If a child shows signs of an allergic reaction such as rash, itching, or difficulty breathing, remove the child from the area and seek medical assistance.
• Ensure that recyclable materials are clean and free of sharp edges to prevent cuts or injuries while handling them. Inspect items before use and discard any that may pose a safety risk.
• In case of a minor burn from hot glue guns or other materials, cool the affected area under running water for several minutes. Cover the burn with a clean, dry cloth or bandage and seek medical attention if needed.
