⚠️ Safety first
- Small craft items such as pom-poms, googly eyes and beads are choking hazards. Supervise toddlers closely.
- Toothpick and pencil crafts have sharp points. Keep them for older kids with an adult nearby.
- An adult should handle any cutting with sharp scissors or craft knives.
- If using real flowers or petals with young children, check that they aren't harmful if mouthed, and wash hands afterwards.
