Please Note:
The OPITEC handicraft packs are not toys in a typical off-the-shelf sense,
but rather additional teaching and learning material for educational pur-
poses. This craft pack may only be constructed by children and ado-
lescents under the guidance and supervision of experienced adults. Not
suitable for children under 36 months. Choking hazard!
WARNING !
Balloons are NOT suitable for inflation by children under eight years
old. In certain conditions they can be swallowed. Children under eight
years old can suffocate from not properly inflated or burst balloon pi-
eces. Therefore children should be kept under adult supervision at all
times when inflating them. Store all non inflated balloons out of the
reach of young children.
Remove all burst balloon pieces at once and dispose of them safely.
Keep balloons away from the eyes and always use a pump to inflate
them! It should be noted that balloons are made with a natural rubber
that can in some cases cause allergies. Store the balloons in a cool
place away from sunlight. Keep these instructions and the balloons to-
gether in the original packing until its time to use them.
