Poison Prevention Tips:

We should all take note!

 

Poisoning is now the leading cause of death from injuries in the United States, as reported by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, National Center for Health Statistics. In this recent report, it was noted that in 2008, the number of poisoning deaths exceeded the number of motor vehicle traffic deaths for the first time since at least 1980.1 A poison is any substance that can harm someone if it is used in the wrong way, by the wrong person or in the wrong amount.

These tips are brought to you by members of the National Poison Prevention Week Council.  The Council has been helping to prevent poisonings for 50 years and is made up of representatives from industry, government, non-profit and health organizations to educate the public about the prevention of unintentional poisonings and accidental exposures in and around the home.  These tips are intended for educational purposes and we encourage you to reproduce and share them with others.  Together we can reduce poisonings that can cause death and injuries on the United States.

Poisoning prevention is in your hands. The following tips can help you protect yourself and your loved ones:

S’mores on a stick: The perfect treat for real (or pretend) campouts!

Try these S’mores on a stick at your next pretend campout!

 

My daughter is celebrating “Texas week” at preschool and they are going to have a pretend camp out. Students will bring sleeping bags and they will sing campfire songs around a tissue paper and brown bag campfire (courtesy of Pinterest). But what camp out is complete with out a treat like S’mores! Who doesn’t love the traditional “roast your marshmallow over the open flame, slide it off onto a piece of chocolate and a graham cracker” s’more? (YUMM!). However; to make it easier to prepare and eat for 4 and 5 year olds (and much less messy for the teacher!), we made S’mores on a stick. Mia and I had so much fun making these together and it only took maybe 20 minutes total!
