My kids all love to play with sparklers on July 4th. I have heard of people getting injured from them. Are they safe?
Almost everyone uses sparklers on July 4th; however, they are not as safe as you might suspect. The tip of the sparkler is actually very hot – almost 1,000 degrees. So it is easy for a child to be burned if you are not careful. Make sure to tell the children this information, so they can handle the sparkler appropriately. Also, with all of the recent wild fires, make sure you dispose of the sparklers in a careful manner.
