Although it is summer, you may find yourself bored and inside on those rainy day this season. If so, why not make some crafts. There are many things you can do, just make sure you have the right safety measures for each activity. They may vary according to what is being made but sometimes crafts can be dangerous to kids when not done properly. Here are some tips for being safe:

• Always have a parent or guardian present
• Keep food and drinks away from the area
• Wash hands thoroughly, after using materials
• Watch for unusual chemical reactions on the skin
• Give only small amounts to minimize spills and mishaps.
• Cover cuts and sores with bandages before using materials

These are just a few things to look for when having fun doing crafts this summer. Crafts should be fun, but safe as well.
