Easter Safety Tips

With the holiday here, sometimes we forget about safety when we are having a ton of fun. Here’s a few quick things to think about before you head out for Easter.

If you plan on using real eggs:
-  Make sure they are well boiled and refrigerated before.
-  Never leave the found Easter eggs in a room for over a few hours. Once found eat them, use them or put them back in the refrigerator.
-  Toddlers should be watched if you allow them to eat an egg. A child can easily choke if they put the whole thing in the mouth or eats too much yolk at once.

If you opt to use plastic eggs:

-  always be sure to never leave a plastic egg with a baby. Believe it or not they can and probably will stick it in their mouth. (choking)
-  Plastic eggs can crack and have sharp edges, watch out for it.

Easter Toys are often overlooked because they are just items tossed inside the Easter basket. You should always be sure to check and make sure all of them are age appropriate. Some of those baskets can have tiny pieces in them, ie, marbles would be bad for a baby. A Barbie or baby doll may not be something a teen wants. For a family that has a dog/cat/etc you will want to watch out for the grass that is placed inside the Easter baskets. If a dog or cat gets it this can choke them.

These are just a few ways to be safe this Easter. Is there any other ways you can be safe this holiday season?
