Sparklers are one of the most loved fireworks by kids during festive seasons like Diwali. The bright sparks, dazzling glow, and festive excitement make sparklers truly special! However, ensuring kids’ safety while using sparklers is extremely important. At Vel Traders Crackers, your family’s safety and joy are always our priority.
Here are the most important sparkler safety tips every parent should follow to make celebrations safe and happy!
1. Always Supervise Kids
Ensure that children handle sparklers only under the watchful eye of an adult to guarantee their safety. Even a small sparkler burns at very high temperatures and can cause accidents if mishandled. Always be nearby to guide them and react quickly if needed.
2. Choose Kid-Friendly Sparklers
Not all sparklers are the same. Choose small, lightweight sparklers specifically designed for children. At Vel Traders Crackers, we offer a special range of Kids Crackers that are safer and easier for kids to enjoy!
3. Teach Safe Handling Techniques
Before giving a sparkler to your child, teach them how to:
- Hold the sparkler away from their body
- Light it at arm’s length
- Stand still while the sparkler burns
Teaching safety steps in advance reduces panic and accidents.
4. Dress Kids in Proper Clothing
Make sure children wear cotton clothes while playing with sparklers. Synthetic materials can catch fire quickly. Also, closed-toe shoes are safer than sandals to protect their feet.
5. Keep a Safe Distance
Make sure kids maintain a safe distance — at least an arm’s length — from others while using sparklers. Crowding can cause accidental burns or injuries. Ensure there’s enough open space for kids to enjoy safely.
6. Light Sparklers Individually
Guide children to light and enjoy sparklers one at a time for better control and safety. Trying to light multiple sparklers together can cause uncontrolled flames and increase the chances of injury.
7. Keep Water or Sand Ready for Safety
Always keep a bucket filled with water or sand nearby during sparkler use. After the sparkler goes out, dip it in the bucket immediately to prevent any chance of fire or injury.
8. Never Allow Running with Sparklers
Running, waving, or throwing sparklers can be dangerous. Children must hold sparklers calmly without swinging them at people, animals, or objects.
9. Discard Used Sparklers Safely
Teach kids that after their sparkler burns out, it can still be extremely hot. Teach them to cool down used sparklers by placing them carefully in a bucket of water before disposal.
10. Set a Good Example
Kids follow what adults do. Make sure you practice all sparkler safety rules yourself. Use sparklers carefully, dispose of them properly, and make safety a part of the celebration.
