Safety Tips for Kids During Diwali
Diwali is all about fun, lights, and celebrations! But with all the excitement, it’s important to stay safe.

Here are some simple tips to make sure Diwali is as safe as it is special for your little ones.
1.Stay Safe with Sparklers
Hold sparklers away from your face and wear gloves if possible. Ask an adult for help when lighting them, and never pick up used sparklers—they stay hot for a while!
2.Keep Away from Fireworks
Leave fireworks to adults, and watch from a safe distance. Try wearing earplugs if the noise bothers you.
3.Wear Comfortable Clothing
Choose cotton clothes rather than flowy fabrics, which are safer around fireworks. Also, avoid long sleeves near candles or diyas.
4.Rangoli Fun, Not Slips!
While making rangoli, keep colors off the main walking areas to avoid slips and falls.
5.Stay Hydrated and Snack Smart
With so many sweets around, drink water and choose healthy snacks too!
