Access our kid-friendly word find, coloring sheets, and more!
With school out for summer, now is the perfect time to introduce young kids to electrical safety. The following three electrical safety tips are important to understand. Read and discuss them with kids and then complete our additional safety activities below.
Always ask an adult for help plugging in and unplugging electronics.
Never pull on electrical cords, and if you see a frayed or damaged cord, tell an adult right away!
Water and electricity don’t mix! Using electronics near water is very dangerous and could cause an electrical shock. Keep electronics far away from pools, sprinklers, and other sources of water.
Never play on or near pad-mounted transformers. These big green boxes carry high-voltage electricity and have warning stickers on the box.
