Read through this book and get inspired by the small safety measures that might make a big difference this time when the whole family visits home during Christmas. Have a look and make your kids feel safe even in a new house.

Kitchen

To make the kitchen safer for kids, you need to put all the pointed objects like knives and forks in the drawers. This will not let them play with such dangerous tools while you are busy chatting with your relatives. Also, try to keep all the gadgets and appliances in the drawers too. Or at least try to keep them out of the reach of kids so that they do not operate anything out of haste. You should also keep your dishes and expensive chinaware tightly sealed in the kitchen cabinets. Do not try to keep anything in the open or in the vicinity of the kids. Children love to drool over holiday food, therefore, you keep everything sealed in proper airtight containers to make them stay fresh for long. Decorate the kitchen table with festive linen and candles that are beyond the reach of the kids otherwise might prove very risky.

Bedroom

The bedroom can be made safer for kids by incorporating many safety tips ad tricks. These include concealing the wardrobe and closets properly. This may involve locking your cabinets or wardrobes. This also includes properly locking the dresser drawers and accessory cabinets. In the bedroom, one also needs to pay attention to the bedding. Try incorporating soft and colourful bed linen that totally is in line with the festive atmosphere. You might also install decoration in the form of high altitude lighting and ribbons that collectively highlight the spirit of the festival. The bedroom doors and windows can easily be decorated with Christmas wreaths that make the best traditional accessory. Try utilising the vertical space and install them at higher altitudes for convenience.

Bathroom

So, while other areas are being prepared for the kids, even the bathroom needs special attention. The bathroom can be prepared by keeping the mirrors and high-end sanitary ware intact. You might place all your toiletries inside the cabinets for keeping them out of the reach of the kids. Chemical substances like toilet cleaners, glass cleaners, etc., should also be kept out of the reach of the kids. Try locking them in proper cabinets so that kids do not see them. For a perfect Christmas spirit, decorate this area with colourful wallpapers and trendy lights to not make it feel like out-of place amidst the entire house. Make sure kids do not waste or unnecessarily use the toilet papers and rolls.

Living room

The living room needs a lot of amendments before welcoming the kids for the Christmas season. The living room needs to get rid of all expensive lamps and intricate accessories that are fragile and easy to crack. You either need to place them on one side of the room or can even place them safely on the corners. Also, the coffee tables, dining tables, etc. should be covered with protective cushioning on the sides. This helps to protect accidents and hazards that might result because of absent-mindedness. In addition to this, you might add soft and comfortable furniture so that kids can enjoy to the fullest and there is no harm caused to your expensive sofa set. The soft  and sober looking cushions shown in the picture above are a creation of Global Bedding GMBH, garden and landscape designers from Germany. You might as well keep a chimney and the home theatre area safe by installing proper covers and protection. To enlighten the perfect Christmas spirit, install a big Christmas tree in one corner to welcome Santa with pride and vigour.

Garden

The gardens can be made safer with the incorporation of few basic rules. Generally, when parents are busy cooking or decorating the house, kids get busy in the outside play area and the garden. You must be doubly sure that your garden does not have any sharp objects like a welder, cultivator or trowel in the close vicinity of the kids. This might hurt the kids knowingly or unknowingly thus spoiling their Christmas vacation. You must also be sure that your high-end plants and planters are kept out of the reach of the kids. In case you have a kitchen or spice garden, make sure all roots like potatoes and carrots are well inside the hedge for added protection. Have signboards installed in the garden to help kids with risky areas. You might also decorate the garden with starry lights to maintain the right festive spirit.

Kids room

When you plan to prepare the kid’s room for Christmas, try to conceal everything inside the drawers and cabinets. This would help you to keep the room clean for a majority of time so that you can clearly focus on attending the guests and cooking as well. You may also store books and toys inside the top shelves so that they keep rendering their warmth and cosy stance, but, still be out of reach for the kids. You may also keep all the side lamps and delicate products in the attic so that they do not get disturbed or tempered during the holiday season. Try using ceiling lamps or backlit ceiling lights to add a glow to the room. You may as well decorate the walls with Christmas wall décor so that kids find it interesting and attractive in this festive season.
