​
A loo for you, a loo for me
We all need somewhere safe to pee
You could share 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
Activity - Climbing Sloth
Or you could 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.
