Just like grapes, mini eggs are the perfect size to block a small child’s airway and choke them. And, their hard shell can make it difficult to dislodge with standard first aid techniques.

Larger, hollow eggs are much safer for little ones.

Christmas Paper - Activity idea.
If you have a few spare potatoes, you can use them to make fun Christmas wrapping paper.
Press shaped biscuit cutters into the potatoes to make easy stamps for kids, or just dip the cutters in paint. An adult will need to help with any cutting.

If you’re enjoying the fireworks today please keep safety in mind.

Remember, if you can afford it, organised displays are much safer. And, always keep children at a safe distance from the display

Drowning happens quickly and quietly. And, if your child goes under the water you won’t hear it.

So, stay with them all the time they’re in the bath and keep them in arm's reach.

Just like grapes, hot dog sausages are the perfect size and shape to completely block a small child’s airway. And, due to their texture they can be difficult to dislodge with standard first aid techniques.
