A sparkler!

Families often see sparklers as a relatively safe way to involve young children in the excitement of fireworks events. But that’s not true. Every year they cause children devastating burn injuries.

Sparklers burn hotter than boiling water. They can even burn hot enough to melt some metals.

If you’re going to use sparklers, treat them with caution and remember:

🎇They’re not recommended for children under 5
🎇 Wear gloves and keep the sparkler at arm’s length, as sparks can fly and ignite clothing
🎇 You may want to put the sparkler in a carrot to make it easier to hold
🎇 Only hold one sparkler at a time
🎇 Teach children not to wave sparklers near anyone else or run around while holding them
🎇 Once sparklers are out, put them in a bucket of water as they stay very hot

Micky Me Size Forest School Fun! 🌿🐾
Children love finding out about the different animals that live in the woodland and using natural resources to build homes and dens for them. As they play, they discover that different animals need different amounts of food too. A tiny mouse wouldn't eat the same size meal as a hungry fox!
This is a great opportunity to talk about Micky Me Size's message of understanding portion sizes and listening to our bodies. Just like animals need the right amount of food for their size, we do too.
💚 Exploring nature, being creative, and learning healthy habits with Micky Me Size!
