Bathroom
Taking a bath is a favourite pastime for me. Mind you, baths are slippery places. So make sure you use your bath or shower mat. Once again I invite you to take a look and see what you would do to make my home a bit safer.
Some of the hazards found in the bathroom are:
- Hot water. Always run cold water into the bath first to avoid serious scalds.
- Using a hairdryer in the bathroom could cause electrocution!
- Water on the bathroom floor is a real slippery hazard and needs mopping up.
- A razor on the sink (remove the word it) is definitely not a play thing. Put it safely out of reach.
- A medicine cabinet should be locked at all times and poisonous things should be kept out of reach.
Bathroom game
How good is your memory? The idea behind this game is to check your powers of concentration and memory. Click on the cards to turn them over. On the flip side you will find pictures of things that you may find in the bathroom. Every card has an identical matching picture card. Turn two matching picture cards over in a row and you have won a matching pair. They will disappear off screen. Match all the pairs to clear the screen and you have won the game! Each time you renew the game the pictures will jumble up again and a new challenge will begin. Are you ready? Off you go. Here are 12 matching pairs.
