[Pharmwaste] educating children on medicine disposal

[East Central District Health Dept.]

Our local health department is planning an education campaign for proper
disposal of pharmaceuticals for all ages.  Is anyone aware of if there is a
coloring sheet or some type of children's educational material for this
subject?  I realize children shouldn't be handling medicines themselves yet
children watch what parents/adults do and if children see their parents
flushing pharmaceuticals down the toilet they may be able to educate the
parents.  I'm not looking for anything extensive just a basic educational
piece.

 

Thanks, Roberta
