Activity

• Secure the Bag: Ensure the plastic bag is sealed tightly to prevent any leakage of gel or syrup, which could pose a choking hazard or create a mess.
• Supervision: Provide close supervision at all times to prevent toddlers from opening the bag and accessing the contents unsupervised.
• Avoid Choking Hazards: Select toys or objects that are large enough to prevent choking. Regularly inspect the items for any small parts that could come loose.
• Prevent Ingestion: Instruct children not to put the sensory bag in their mouths to avoid ingestion of gel, syrup, or small toys.
• Safe Environment: Ensure the activity takes place in a safe area free of sharp objects, electrical outlets, or any other potential hazards.
• Emotional Support: Be attentive to children's emotional reactions during the activity. Offer comfort if they feel overwhelmed or frustrated by the sensory experience.
• Clean-Up: Dispose of the sensory bags properly after use to prevent accidental spills or leaks that could be hazardous if left unattended.

Here are some safety precautions to consider for the "Sensory Bag Exploration" activity:

• Ensure a tight seal on the plastic bag to prevent leaks or spills that could lead to slippery surfaces and potential falls.
• Supervise the toddlers closely to prevent them from opening the bag and accessing the gel or syrup, which could be a choking hazard or cause skin irritation if touched.
• Avoid using small toys or objects that could pose a choking risk if they become detached from the bag or are small enough to fit in a child's mouth.
• Instruct children not to put the bag in their mouths to prevent ingestion of the gel or syrup, which could be harmful if swallowed.
• Be mindful of any children with sensory sensitivities who may find the texture or contents of the bag overwhelming or distressing.

• Ensure the plastic bag is sealed tightly to prevent leakage of gel or syrup, which could cause slips or falls. Check for any tears or holes in the bag before handing it to the toddlers.
• If a child gets the gel or syrup on their skin or in their eyes, rinse with lukewarm water immediately for at least 15 minutes. Remove any contaminated clothing while rinsing.
• Watch out for any allergic reactions to the gel or syrup. Be prepared with antihistamines or consult a healthcare provider if a child shows signs of an allergic response such as rash, itching, or swelling.
• Keep small toys or objects in the bag large enough to prevent choking hazards. In case of choking, perform age-appropriate choking first aid maneuvers or CPR if necessary.
• Teach children not to put the bag in their mouths to avoid ingestion of gel or small objects. If ingestion occurs, stay calm, remove any remaining material from the mouth, and seek medical help immediately.
• Have a first aid kit nearby with bandages, antiseptic wipes, gloves, and emergency contact numbers. Be prepared to handle minor cuts or scrapes from sharp objects inside the bag.
