With support from the Food Allergy Initiative I have designed a set of interactive flashcards to help teach children with peanut & tree nut allergies, and those individuals who care for them how to stay safe. The flashcards incorporate a great deal of comprehensive information and puts it into an easy to learn format. The flashcards introduce cross-contamination, the importance of label reading and always carrying emergency medication. When used in a classroom setting the flashcards have generated a greater understanding of the allergy which in turn creates a caring safer environment for our children. For adults who can not be expected to read what we have, in 10 minutes the flashcards have provided the knowledge necessary to generate a greater understanding of why such vigilance is necessary at home and in the shcool system to keep our children safe. There are 36 color coded flashcards on a metal ring. This makes it easy to hang the flashcards at home or in the classroom.
