Last week our day home agency held a health and safety workshop presented by a health inspector from Alberta Health Services.
Many points were made on how to have healthy and safe environments, spaces, equipment, how to control the spread of infection and how to safely handle and prepare food for children.
A super easy idea was presented about organising toys that need to be washed or cleaned and sanitised, especially those that are constantly in the mouths of infants and toddlers!
A simple bin, tote box or laundry basket placed in your play area (out of reach of the children) where toys needing washing and cleaning can be placed out of the way is a great addition to any play room. A lidded bin or basket would also be something to stop the children retrieving they toys back out!
At the end of the day the toys can simply be placed to soak in a bleach solution or ,if able, placed in a dishwasher with a sanitisation cycle and then left to air dry!
