Guest Posted June 26, 2004 Posted June 26, 2004 We are about to start our seaside topic and as I managed to collect seaweed, shells, pebbles etc from the beach I thought it would be good for the children to examine natural materials through magnifiers, water play and collage. I am a little concerned whether or not it will be OK to use the seaweed - I have washed it and dried it out. Has anyone else used natural seaweed? D
hali Posted June 26, 2004 Posted June 26, 2004 Im sure it would be ok as long as you get the children to wash their hands in antibacterial childrens soap after handling. You could always put a note up so if parents dont want thier children to participate then they can say so.
Beau Posted June 26, 2004 Posted June 26, 2004 Diane, Can't think of any reason why it should be a problem. I agree with hali that they should just be encouraged to wash their hands afterwards. Let us know if you find out anything different though.
Guest Posted June 27, 2004 Posted June 27, 2004 Thanks for your help, I've got the antibacterial soap ready. A great site by the way. Diane
