About Medicine or Candy?
Lots of medicine looks and even tastes like candy, gummy vitamins look just like gummy bears, and blue window cleaner looks like a sports drink. Medicine or Candy? helps young children learn the simple rules that keep them safe: only a grown-up gives medicine, medicine is never candy, cleaning things are not food or drink, and if you find something, don't touch it: tell a grown-up.
Children sort pictures into Yummy snack or Stop! Ask a grown-up, find the medicine in look-alike pairs, and pick what to do in short stories, like finding pills under the sofa or a friend who says medicine tastes like candy. Ollie the owl explains each answer in a few words, and wrong answers just mean try again.
The page For grown-ups explains how to store medicines, laundry pods, button batteries and magnets up and away, and gives the US Poison Help number, 1-800-222-1222. Made by an eye doctor and parent.
Best for ages 3–8
