An activity synonymous with winter, thousands of children enjoy sledding outside each year. Whether you travel to the slopes to get your fix of wintry fun or have a plethora of powder in your own back yard, the joys of speeding down a hill on a sled can make it easy to forget that these activities can also lead to injuries. Taking a few simple safety precautions can help keep you and your children secure this winter.
Winter seems to last forever in Calgary, so you might as well make the most of it! A sedentary life in winter can undo the months of active living you enjoyed in the summer, so stop hibernating and get out and play!
Before I became a parent, I remember sending my nephew a shiny red fire engine as a present. The fire engine had great play value with doors that opened and closed, as well as a set of hoses that could be rolled out and retracted. In addition, the toy emitted an ear-splitting siren that was extremely close to the real thing.
Halloween's over - it's time to look at pulling out those old Christmas decorations again! Before you deck the halls, check out these safety tips to make sure you have a jolly holiday.
