Safety Tips:
Don't forget about safety.
You don't usually think of
children's birthday parties
as especially dangerous, but
there a few safety tips to
remember that could make the
day trouble free.
• If you plan to decorate
with balloons, remember that
balloons are a major choking
hazard for young kids. Keep
the balloons out of reach
or use Mylar balloons.

• If you give out birthday favours,
make sure they are age-appropriate for
your guests. Many of the favours you find
in party stores contain small parts that
could choke a young child. These favours
also tend to break very easily.
• If you have a pool, make sure
that the safety gate is locked or that
it is covered with a safety net.
•
If you are holding a birthday party somewhere
other than your house, ask each parent
to tell you who will be picking their
child up at the end of the birthday party.
Do not release a child to anyone you don't
know.
•
During the birthday party, make sure you
have an adult who can run kids to the
bathroom if it's not close to where the
main action is.
•
Also, make sure you have enough adults
to adequately supervise all the kids,
and if necessary, assign each adult a
kid or two to supervise.
