ASSEMBLY
An adult should assemble the box and choose the objects that are used with it. The Box should
have interesting and safe items hung from its roof and along each of the sides before use. All
objects chosen must be securely attached with strong cord to the rings provided. Avoid the use of
any elasticated attachments which could recoil and snap or cause injury on rebounding. Check
that all these objects are securely attached to the rings before use. For example, you could use an
empty plastic beaker as a voice amplifier. This could be hung from the ceiling so that it is
suspended over the child’s face. Any laughter or babbling from the child will echo and may
motivate him or her to make more sounds.
Screw the two black cross knobs through the Box sides into the yellow bar before use.
When attaching objects you may wish to refrain from moving objects onto different rings too often
as this may remove the child’s opportunity to learn that a certain movement will always bring
him/her into contact with a certain object.
Whilst use of this product should always be supervised, you may wish to take a non-directional
approach and allow the child to explore the objects alone. The child may be inactive in the box
and may be happy to look at the objects long before he or she is happy to explore them by touch.
You may find it most beneficial to use the Be Active Box in a quiet environment to avoid
distractions. For example, a visually impaired child may become concerned with sounds outside
the box to make their own sounds using the objects in it. Turn off the TV or radio!
PACKING AWAY:
It will not be immediately apparent to anyone using the Be Active Box for the
first time that the left-hand panel folds in an outward direction. Therefore, take care when folding
the Box not to strain the hinges by attempting to fold it in the wrong direction. If fairly flat objects
are hung along the sides then the Box can be folded with the objects still in position. Objects will
need to be flipped over from one side when the Box is folded.
SAFETY:
Always supervise the use of this product. Do not attach objects with sharp points or
edges. Do not use objects with detachable parts. Do not choose objects that could be swallowed
if the child does manage to detach them from the rings.
