Children younger than six months should not be left in the sun. Avoid insect bites by applying insect repellent on your children before the evening fireworks display. Remember to bring a bowl of ice or cooler for perishable foods, like sliced meats, deviled eggs and potato salads. Keep perishable foods covered and on ice or in a cooler. Don't let your children run around barefoot.
Broken glass can cause cuts and fireworks that are still hot can cause burns.
By following these safety tips, your family's Fourth of July can be both safe and fun.
