This container should be clearly labeled — perhaps you might decorate it with a large skull and crossbones, like they used to put on bottles of poison. It’s certainly an arresting symbol. Your children should be taught to recognize the symbol and the box should be stored where they can’t get at it. You may also want to store especially messy materials in this container — anything you don’t want your child getting into unless you’re nearby. Make sure you stock a kid’s craft kit for your child to use when you’re not around to supervise. Here’s what goes in your kit:
Toxic paints Toxic clays Toxic glues Lead products for glasswork, etc. Soldering irons Paint thinner Power tools Alcohol Acetone Kerosene Craft knives Cutters Snips Punches Awls Resins Glues, including washable fabric glues, silicone glue, epoxies, Duco cement, and E-6000 Glue guns Anything you don’t want your child playing with when you’re not working directly with him Materials that might shatter or break easily, like glass Anything you’re saving for a special project Anything you feel your child might be tempted to swallow
