Fireworks
The first fireworks were probably made in China, around
2,000 years ago. Chinese crackers, as they are known, are still used in China today to celebrate weddings, births and religious festivals - and to scare away evil spirits. Fireworks were used for centuries in ancient Indian and Thai religious ceremonies. Some of the rockets were 8-10 feet long and were attached to bamboo sticks that were 40 feet high.

Firework Safety• Never play with fireworks - They are explosives and
can hurt you.• Only adults should light or hold fireworks.• When you are watching fireworks stand well back.• Never go near a firework that has been lit. Even if it
hasn’t gone off, it could still explode.• Fireworks will frighten your pets, so keep your pets
safely indoors.• If you are given a sparkler: • Always wear gloves. Hold it at arm’s length. When your
sparkler goes out, DON’T TOUCH IT. It could still burn you, so put it in a bucket of water.
