Celebrate with Sparklers? Here's A Tip

 

Here's an idea for those
that may enjoy celebrating 
The Fourth of July with sparklers.  

Poke a hole in the bottom of a large
plastic cup and it becomes a
"shield" for your little ones. 

Thanks to Mrs. Carla Simmons with
our Lawrence County Health Department

for sharing this with "Shining Moments"
Please pass it along to others.
