Do your kids love squishies?

These are soft, squeezable toys that come in all shapes, sizes and materials.

Although these items are popular among children - they may not be safe and may can contain harmful chemicals or small parts that pose a risk of injury. So be sure to do your research before purchasing these and buy them from reputable companies.

Celebrate Territory Day the Safe Way!

Children should never have access to fireworks and should always be closely supervised in areas where fireworks are being used. If you plan to purchase fireworks, make sure they are only bought from a licensed retailer and used according to safety guidelines.

If a burn injury does occur, remember that cool running water for 20 minutes is the best first aid.

Cooking with your children can be a wonderful way to connect, but it’s also one of the places where burns and scalds commonly happen at home.

If you’re involving children in the kitchen:
• Make sure tasks are age appropriate
• Keep children well away from hot surfaces, pots and appliances
• Always supervise closely when cooking is happening

Electric blankets can be helpful on cold winter nights, but they should never be left on while you’re asleep due to the risk of burns.

You can use an electric blanket before bed to warm the room or bedding but remember to turn it off and remove it before going to sleep.

Safer ways to keep babies and children warm include:
• Dressing them in warm, well fitted winter clothing
• Using extra blankets appropriate for their age
• Keeping the room at a safe, comfortable temperature using approved heating methods

As the weather gets colder, warmer baths can feel extra comforting, but hot water can increase the risk of scald injuries, especially for children.

To help keep everyone safe:
• Always check the water temperature before getting into the bath
• Use a bath thermometer if you have one
• Turn on cold water first and last when filling the bath
• Set your home’s hot water delivery system to a maximum of 50°C
• Supervise children at all times in and around the bath
