basilbrush Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 Hi, we have had donations of a few old electrical items which we would like to use for the children to take apart under supervision with screwdrivers etc, We are school nursery taking 3 and 4 year olds. Just wondering if anyone else has had any success with this type of thing, and specifically if anyone has got a risk assessment that we could have a look at? Thanks in advance for your advice Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FSFRebecca Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 I've had a quick scan through our resources library, however I fear they may be too general for your purposes. If you do write something more specific could you upload it to the library for others to use? Resources Thank you ::1a Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mouseketeer Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 Ours love doing this, apart from using the tools to take apart, once inside the moving parts are fascinating and being able to push buttons and move cogs to see what moves inside to understand cause and effect is great (old cd/tape players are good for this)and lots of little wires to snip ...and their optimism that they can 'fix it' before home time is just brilliant :-) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stargrower Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 We do this fairly regularly too but don't have a separate risk assessment for it - just plenty of adult supervision and common sense. It is a great activity with lots of learning potential as Mouseketeer has said. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
