Sparkler Safety

Did you know that sparklers get five times hotter than cooking oil?

Sparklers are not toys and should never be given to a child under five.

Sparkler – tips

Always light sparklers one at a time and wear gloves

Never hold a baby or child if you have a sparkler in your hand

Don’t take sparklers to public displays, it will be too crowded to use them safely

Plunge finished sparklers hot end down into a bucket of water as soon as they have burnt out as they can stay hot for a long time

Always supervise children using sparklers

Give children gloves to wear when holding sparklers

Avoid dressing children in loose or flowing clothes – they may catch light

Show children how to hold sparklers – away from their body and at arm’s length

Teach children not to wave sparklers near anyone else or run while holding them 

Top Tip – Stick the sparkler into a carrot to make it easier for young children to hold.
