Crafty Ways to Keep the Kids Busy This Summer

Fireworks Safety - Happy 4th of July!

As July 4th approaches, your kids are probably thinking about sitting out on the lawn with family and neighbors, eating snacks, and watching beautiful fireworks bursting in the night sky. Summer celebrations can be a lot of fun. But what's the best way to ensure that your kids have both a fun and a safe July 4th this summer?

Fireworks, often the centerpiece of summer celebrations, can actually be very dangerous. According to Prevent Blindness America, from 1980-1994 fireworks accounted for 29 fires, 65 explosions, and 114 deaths. And, almost half of the injured are children ages 19 years old and under.

Sparklers are perhaps even more dangerous because many people think of them as harmless fireworks that children can use. But sparklers are the second highest cause of fireworks-related injuries requiring trips to the emergency room. Sparklers can potentially catch clothes or hair on fire, and they can heat up to 1800 degrees Fahrenheit (hot enough to melt gold).

fireworks safety tips from the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission
