May is officially National Water Safety Month!


Here is some shocking news for parents of small children: a swimming pool is 100 times more likely to kill a child than a gun. Drowning is the second-leading cause of unintentional death for children under the age of 14. Drowning is the leading cause of death for children under the age of 4.

According to these statistics from Life Saver Pool Fence and the Consumer Product Safety Commission, an average of 390 children drown each year in their own backyards.

A pool fence from Life Saver offers a solution to this problem. Below is an infographic with some fast tips on how to keep your children safe this summer: 

Life Saver is deeply committed to summer safety beyond simply distributing pool fencing. It is the only pool fence company recognized by the US Consumer Product Safety Commission’s Pool Safely Campaign as a Safety Leader, an extremely high honor bestowed only upon to organizations that make a serious contribution to pool safety efforts nationwide. Life Saver is also a partner of the National Drowning Prevention Alliance. 

Life Saver's President Eric Lupton has dedicated his life to keeping children safe and is an expert in the field. Lupton was recently elected as Vice President for the National Drowning Prevention Alliance. He would be more than happy to offer his expertise on this matter.

Design Your Own Backpack Craft

Image
  As part of our back to school celebration for September we are creating all kinds of cute school items. Crafting these adorable little pieces has been so much fun we thought it would be nice to share our favourites with our community!  To make this adorable backpack craft we got the idea and template from Made To Be A Momma ! She used the craft as a simple backpack with coloured card-stock but I decided to let the kids be free to create and design their own backpacks. You could get wild with stickers and glitter as well but we stayed simple. To create yours follow the instructions 👇  You will need: Card-stock or paper (printer for the template) Glue Scissors Decorations, markers, paint, etc. 1. Begin by printing out your backpack templates. You can always make the first one for yourself to keep as an example of what you’re making so older kids can try to cut and follow along as well. It always helps to hold onto one for future reference and keep it safe for next year w...
