Children hunt for three scenes illustrating these dangers in the panel's cartoon graphic. They can also stick their hands into the storm drain pipe shown in the cartoon and feel a slimy sewage substitute. Real containers of a pesticide, antifreeze, and motor oil are velcro'd onto the board for clear visual recognition, easy removal and handling. The third panel is a game that builds on this message. Players race a timer as they study a photo collage of hazardous and safe household products mounted on a metal board.
Kids spin a wheel that stops on messages of safer things to do and safer stuff to buy.
Adults wanting take-home information find a literature rack built into the last panel. The messages are reinforced with two more games. Tile graphics reinforce household hazardous waste concepts.
