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.
