CHAPTER 1 SAFETY AT HOME
Cuts

There are lots of things in the home that you can cut yourself on.
Sharp objects can make you bleed.

Opening tins can be very dangerous which is why
it is best done by an adult. Can you name what
is used to open tins?

When you use scissors, it is best to cut in a
direction away from yourself because they might
slip and cut you.
Are all scissors the same? Draw the scissors
you like to use and label them.

When you pass scissors or a knife to anyone else,
always remember to offer the other person the
handle to take.

We all break things from time to time. What do
you think you should do if you break a cup or
glass containing liquid? Ask an adult if you are
right or draw pictures to show them your actions.

Broken toys, especially plastic ones, can have nasty
sharp edges. Throw them away safely, do not give
them away. Can you guess why?
