Kid Safety Bands, a great idea and product by Paul O’Dea….

When I first got notification from my friend Paul about his web site kidsafetybands.com, I have to admit I thought immediately that he had formed a musical rock band that you hire for kids parties for them to learn about safety.  It wouldn’t be so far off the radar because Paul has a silly personality. I had the song Safety Dance in my head from the 80s and visited his web site to check it out… needless to say, I was wrong about the musical band, but what he actually created are these customized bands or bracelets for your children to wear while out in public places. 

Kid Safety Bands, don't leave home without them!

Kid Safety Bands, don't leave home without them!

These bands emulate the Live Strong bands by Lance Armstrong but don the child’s phone number or whatever information you indicate to Paul to put on the bracelet.  Paul tells the story of how he came up with the idea on his web site www.kidsafetybands.com. I think they are clever and make sense! Check them out, and tell him Sandra Oles sent you!
