Diwali is the festival of lights, joy, and togetherness — but it’s also a time to be extra careful, especially when children are around fireworks.
By choosing the right crackers and following some simple safety rules, you can ensure your family enjoys a bright, happy, and safe Diwali.
Choose Child-Friendly Crackers
Not all crackers are safe for kids. Pick fireworks that are low-risk and easy to handle, such as:
Avoid high-sound crackers or rockets for young kids. Always buy original Sivakasi crackers from trusted shops like sadhancrackers to ensure quality and safety.
Always Supervise Children
Never let kids light crackers alone. An adult should:
- Light crackers for them (or help them light sparklers)
- Stand at a safe distance
- Keep a bucket of water and a wet cloth nearby
Wear Safe Clothing
Dress kids in cotton clothes — avoid loose or synthetic clothes that catch fire easily. Tie up long hair and avoid flowing dupattas near fireworks
Teach Kids Firecracker Safety
Before Diwali, talk to your kids about:
- Not bending over crackers when lighting them
- Not relighting used or dud crackers
- Keeping a safe distance after lighting
- Throwing used sparklers in water
Clean Up After Celebrations
Once the fun is over, safely dispose of used crackers. Pour water on burnt crackers to avoid accidental fire.
