BURRILLVILLE – With weather forecasts calling for accumulating snow Sunday night into Monday morning, it’s a great time to remind kids and families about winter snow activities safety.
Kids love to snowboard and ride sleds down hills covered with fresh snow after a storm during the winter season. It’s very important to remind kids that they need to wear a safety helmet on their heads to help prevent unintentional head injuries while participating in winter snow activities.
The Fearless Dino Protector Squad wants to make sure kids are safer all winter season while playing outside. Play it safe kids, and make sure that you wear a safety helmet while snowboarding and sledding. Take your turn and watch out for others on snow covered hills in your neighborhood.
