Safety Tips for Birthdays

Birthdays are great fun but you need to remember to always keep your  guests safe. These items can cause choking or even death.
• Balloons- If they burst they can be inhaled and cause choking.
• Toy Whistles- These can be dangerous if the small ball inside gets loose because little ones can choke on it.
• Small Candy or Finger Foods like raisins, m&ms or popcorn can cause choking
• Matches are great for lighting the cake but dangerous to a small child.
• Candles- Kids are curious about the flame and will want to touch it but it can cause serious burns.
