Plastic by itself is dull and hard. Several chemicals like BPA and phthalates are added in plastic, to make it colourful, shiny, soft or transparent. But these added chemicals are toxic and cause many health problems.
In children, these plasticky chemicals lead to attention deficiency & brain development issues. Thyroid, weight gain and depression are also linked to these plasticky chemicals.
The objective of this activity is to introduce children to health impacts of plastics.
