Adapted by the book, Me & My Injector Pen, the play is full of fun facts, headed by great characters and catchy songs will young children understand the potentially deadly effects of not complying with allergy-safe rules. These lessons aren't meant to scare, just to educate and they are not just for the school yard, but in the surroundings of everyday life, throughout their lives.

 

With the use of props, puppets, speech, song, conversation and logic, the characters can open up the conversation to the children through humour and play. The play conveys the importance of allergies without dumbing down the subject matter, but also not frightening the children with horror stories.
