basilbrush Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 just wondered whether anybody else ever uses bark chips for a sensory tray, I saw them being used in a nursery class and thought it a really good idea.... bought some at the weekend and had them out today - only problem is that they look like they could cause a lot of splinters - are there different types of bark chips? Am I worrying too much?! any advice welcomed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rea Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 I've got 'forest floor' in my garden from B&Q. I did have rough hands after laying it all but no splinters. I think they do one specifically for childrens play areas but not sure if its kinder on hands. Good idea to use it to play with Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 One of my sons got a nasty splinter from wood chip in a park so do try and get something safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
