Keep Your Kids Safe This Holiday Season

You want you kids to have a fun and safe holiday season. But how can you do that? Here are some tips from safekids.org...

Natural trees look beautiful and smell great, but if they’re not watered regularly, needles can dry out and pose a potential fire hazard. Make sure your tree has plenty of water by checking it regularly.

Consider your child’s age when purchasing a toy or game this holiday season. It’s worth a second to read the instructions to make sure the gift is just right.

Once you’ve settled on the perfect toy, play the first game with your child. Besides being fun, it’s a great way to identify any small parts or other potential hazards.

Kids love to reach, so to prevent hot food or liquid spills, simply use the back burner of your stove and turn pot handles away from the edge.

Kids are curious and will want to play with the ornaments on the tree, so you might as well prepare. Move the ornaments that are breakable or have metal hooks towards the top of the tree. That makes room at the bottom for the ones that are safer for young kids.

These tips are the basics to get you started. If you’re looking for more holiday safety information, we’ve got lots more tips for you.
