Splash, splash! The rain is fun, isn't it? But did you know that water and electricity don't play well together? That's why we need to become Zap-Safe Heroes during the rainy season! Let's learn how to keep ourselves safe and have fun at the same time.
⚡ Fun Fact Alert! ⚡
Did you know that water is a super conductor of electricity? That means electricity loves to travel through water - which is why we need to be extra careful when it's wet outside!
Indoor Safety Adventures 🏠
