    This is not meant as an attack but just to share information ~ when I worked in centre care I was the Health and Safety person for ... I had to research and keep all the Material Safety Data sheets up to date and on file for any product staff were exposed to!

    Have you ever read the Material Data Safety sheet for these I stopped using them after reading them as well as more research into severe chemical burns children who've gotten access to them or who've played on surfaces cleaned using them had

    The MDS sheet says skin reactions are 'moderate' but the images online if you google are NASTY!!!! Not to mention that these things contain formaldehyde a chemical linked to causing cancer and cyanide too boot

    Potential Health Hazards (Acute and Chronic): (See Section 11 for more information)
    Ingestion: Blockage of the gastrointestinal tract may occur if swallowed. Do not ingest.
    Eye Contact: Irritating to eyes.
    Skin Contact: Moderately irritating to the skin. Prolonged / repeated contact may result in skin
    sensitization.
    Inhalation: Ensure adequate ventilation.

    Hazardous Decomposition Products: Oxides of carbon, oxides of sulfur, aromatic compounds,
    formaldehyde, hydrogen cyanide.
    IMO scary what is actually IN these things ~ personally would never use one knowing what I know now specially anywhere a child plays or explores considering the safety precautions those 'making them' have to wear in order to handle the products that go into these that you than see being used barehanded and on surfaces where you eat and bath when they promote them in their commercials .... seriously if it is safe for YOU to use in this manner than why are employees being made to wear ventilators and industrial gloves when handling them
    Children construct their own intelligence. The adult must provide activities and context, but most of all must be able to listen. Children need proof that adults believe in them. Their three great desires are to be listened to, to understand, and to demonstrate that they are exactly what we expect."

A few tips...

If you visited or if you're using a childcare provider found on DaycareBear, do not hesitate to leave a review. This will most certainly help other parents!
