Safety notes
- ⚠️ Adult supervision is required, especially when using hot glue guns; ensure children never touch the hot tip. Review safe handling of scissors and ensure they are child-safe. Advise against putting small objects in mouths to prevent choking hazards. Wash hands thoroughly after handling natural materials and paints.
Cleanup
