Epoxy Resin Ideas for Children

⚠️ Important Safety Warning
Epoxy resin can be an exciting material for creative projects, but it is not a toy. Children should never handle resin unsupervised, and adults must take full responsibility for ensuring a safe working environment.

• Always supervise children closely when working with epoxy resin.
• Use only non-toxic, child-safe resins (check manufacturer labels).
• Ensure good ventilation—resin fumes can be harmful.
• Provide proper protective gear (gloves, safety goggles, and aprons).
• Be prepared with spill cleanup materials and first aid procedures.

📄 Before Starting:
We strongly recommend reading “How to Create a Safe Working Environment for Epoxy Resin” and conducting further safety research before allowing children to participate in resin projects.
