Poisonous Plants

[Guest]

Hi all I am planning a dinosaur dig in line with our next topic and am planning to add some leaves, could anyone tell me where i could get information/guidlines about which plants are and are not safe to use in setting many thanks.

Found this site, and the most useful thing is it has pictures instead of a large list of plants \9usually Latin names) of plants I would know if i fell over them!!

Hope it helps! Don't forget to look at all three pages!

You can also find links on the EYFS cd rom.

I remember this this question has been asked before so it might be also worth searching the old forums

Off the top of my head, isn't there a list in one of the Ofsted standards booklets, right at the back??At home so can't check.....

[AnonyMouse_8282]

Yes there is a list at the back of the Guidance to National Standards

Little Books' 'The Little Book of Outdoor Play' has got a list of plant suggestions at the back - so presumably none of them are poisonous! Gardening with Children by Kim Wilde has got lists of really poisonous / potentially harmful plants.

Thanks guys some really useful tips.

The list in both EYFS and previous national standards is not exhaustive, for example the humble daffodil is poisonous ....if you eat the bulbs.. yet we all (well many of us) grow them.

 

If you want to look at a thorough list try this one from RHS
