Environmental Safety
An instructor or another responsible adult should supervise children at all times.
When you are working with very young children, you should see that windows and storage cabinets are locked to prevent accidents and electrical outlets are covered. Floors should be padded or floor mats should be used.
The activity room should be free of sharp or obstructive objects. Exercise in moderate temperatures with low humidity. Equipment for children should be designed for age-specific groups according to size, material, weight, height and safety regulations. Equipment for children should be fun, safe, quick and easy to store. Young children love to use props such as balls, balloons, hula-hoops, feathers, hats, gloves and costumes. Use your imagination. Give children the option to choose what they enjoy.
Creating homemade equipment (such as beanbags made from scraps of material or weights made from plastic bottles filled with water), can be fun projects for children to create.
