Keep them away from anything combustible and out of your child's reach. Inspect lights to make sure that there are no cracked bulbs, and that the wires have not pulled away from the bulb holders or frayed. Hang streamers, paper chains, and balloons away from heat sources and light fixtures. Keep canned snow sprays out of the reach of children. Although theses sprays are non-toxic, propellants in the can may be dangerous.
Poisoning can occur if the snow is sprayed directly into the child's mouth.
Follow the recommended age guidelines when selecting a toy for your child. Also watch for pieces that come off, sharp edges or corners, and brittle plastic. Cologne, perfume, and after-shave are popular gifts for adults during the holidays. Their pleasing smell, however, may tempt children to put these bottles in their mouths. Seek immediate care if your child swallows these products.
