Other Christmas Decorating Safety Suggestions

  • Family at ChristmasSmall children can be confused about food and decorations, as holiday decorations tend to be colourful and accessible and wrapped just like candy. Parents should be careful to place these decorations out of reach of young children, so little ones are not tempted to touch, pull on, chew or throw these (often breakable) items.
  • Make sure children don't put ornaments, tinsel or other decorations in their mouths. Choose non-lead tinsel in case of accidental ingestion. Also, if using "angel hair," place it higher on the Christmas tree to avoid skin and eye irritation, since it is made from spun glass.
  • Artificial snow sprays can irritate lungs, if inhaled. To avoid injury, make sure to read container labels and follow all directions carefully. Do not spray near or around asthmatic children, as it can lead to difficulties in breathing.
  • Keep small children away from plastic shopping bags, wrappings, strings or bows to avoid the possibility of choking. In fact, some gift-wrap contains lead, so make sure to dispose of it promptly to avoid children chewing on it.
