injuring clay is one of the quite popular educational toys, helping children develop creative thinking and mobility skills.
However, to ensure safety and effectiveness when teaching children to make clay at home, parents need to pay attention to the following important points:
Choosing safe clay
Choosing clay with clear origin and safety ingredients is the first important thing. Priority should be given to products made from natural materials, containing no harmful chemicals to avoid the risk of harm to children's health.
In particular, clay does not have a strong chemical smell, as this can affect the respiratory system of children. Carefully checking product information from reputable manufacturers will help ensure the safety of children when playing with clay.
Instructions for children to use properly
Parents should give specific instructions during the process of making clay, especially children under 3 years old to avoid putting objects in their mouths, nose or ears that can lead to unwanted accidents.
Therefore, parents need to always be by their side, instructing children to use clay properly to ensure the safety of their children.
Ensuring hygiene
Sanitation is an important factor when children are exposed to clay. Before starting, teach your child to wash their hands thoroughly to remove bacteria. After playing, you should rinse your hands and tools, the contact surface of the table with clay to ensure hygiene.
Clay after use also needs to be properly preserved, avoiding contact with dirt and bacteria, so that the next use can still ensure the safety of children.
Maintaining hygiene and preserving clay not only protects health but also helps prolong the life of the product.
Encourage creativity
Playing with clay not only brings moments of entertainment but also helps children develop their children's imagination and creativity. Parents should encourage their children to create shapes and objects that they like.
However, certain limits should be set, such as not molding too small objects that are easily dangerous or not using sharp tools.
This helps children feel comfortable and creative in a safe environment and be well controlled by their parents.
