​

A loo for you, a loo for me

We all need somewhere safe to pee

Show a toilet picture or photograph, if this is not a signifier or object of reference.

​​​​

​

To cover their tracks and not be found

Cats will bury their poop underground 

Activity - Modelling Clay Poop

Bury in sand, soil or kinetic sand.

​​

Sloths live high up in a tree 

But they have to climb all the way down to pee 

Rustle leaves, allow participants to explore some bark pieces.

If touch is tolerated, perhaps they may enjoy a gentle clawing stroke up and down their arm or leg.

​

Don’t worry! They have algae all over their back 

So they can hide and not be attacked

Use a damp green sponge or green felt, perhaps wet or damp green

cellophane to explore, or drape over arms and hands

​

To avoid the hunting cat’s prying eye 

The hummingbird poops up high, in the sky 

Activity - Paper Hummingbird craft activity 

You can hold them, attach them to the ceiling, create a mobile or hang them from a rail or clothesline to encourage looking, tracking and/or reaching.

Another fun activity is to take wet tissue paper and splat 'bird poop' onto

a tray, or a table or onto hands or arms.

​

Little rabbits, well they are very clean 

They hop out from their burrows to use their latrine 

A bunny sock puppet is easy to make and uses only a few items.

Or explore 'hop' with a punch balloon, bounce ball or a spring.

​

To avoid the shark and his spiky teeth 

The little fish pee in the coral reef

Activity - Coral Reef Sensory Board

Use cardboard or similar resource cut out spiked shark teeth

Water squirters are fun to use for fish 'pee'

​​​

​

Like people, Alpacas will patiently queue 

And wait to use their public loo 

Activity - Alpaca

​

​​

​

But if there’s no toilet for far and wide 

People have to go to the toilet outside 

Look up, down, all around

Everyone say a big “Oh no”, or record on Big Mack or Talking Tile

​

In bushes, in grass and rivers too 

Because there’s nowhere else to go to the loo

Any natural items could be explored here, such as leaves or grass.

Pour some water into a bowl for the river.

​

In this country we have lots of loos 

But they’re not safe for us all to use 

Everyone say a big “Oh no”, or record on Big Mack or Talking Tile

​

Some of us need to be changed lying down 

But without the right equipment, there’s only the ground 

Ceramic tile or a stone

* be trauma aware - this may trigger adverse reactions, feelings, memories

​

And who wants to lie on a toilet floor?

There are millions of germs, maybe even more 

Activity - Sensory bags

​

Germs make you sick and spread disease 

So, can you make our toilets safer please! 

Continue to explore sensory bags

​​​​

A loo for you, a loo for me. 

Because (and we think you’ll all agree)…

You could share a toilet picture or photograph, if this is not a signifier

or object of reference.

​

We ALL need somewhere safe to pee.
