🎉 Happy New Year! Let’s Keep Kids Safe Tonight! 🎉

New Year’s Eve is fun, but it can also be risky for kids and teens. Here are some easy tips:

✅ Fireworks & Sparklers 🔥 – Only grown-ups should light them. They can burn!
✅ No Alcohol 🍷 – Keep drinks away from kids. Even a little can make them sick.
✅ Curfew for Teens ⏰ – Know where they are and who they’re with.
✅ Watch Small Stuff 🎈 – Party favors and tiny decorations can be choking hazards.
✅ Safe Rides 🚗 – No one should drive after drinking. Plan ahead!

Start the new year safe and happy! 💙

🎁 December is Safe Toys and Gifts Awareness Month! 🎁

Before you buy toys or gifts, think about safety and age. Some toys can be dangerous for little kids:

✅ Check toys before you buy. Avoid toys that shoot things or have sharp edges.
✅ Pick toys that match the child’s age and skills.
✅ For kids under 3: No small parts, magnets, or button batteries—they can cause choking or serious harm.
✅ Sports gifts? Add safety gear like a helmet!
✅ Look for safety labels like “ASTM.”
✅ Choose nontoxic crayons and markers.
✅ Wash hands often and watch out for old toys with lead paint.

Let’s make this holiday season fun AND safe! 💙
