Firefighter Books and Easy Fire Craft/Coloring sheets…
It is fire safety week. Since both my boys love all things firefighter it was a perfect time to get out a few of our firemen books and read them. We also did a few activity sheets and an easy fire craft. Even though they are still at a young age I talked about fire safety a little. We went over: stop, drop, and roll if you catch fire, what number to call if there is a fire, and what to do if the house ever caught fire. My youngest may not have picked up on what I was saying but my oldest did. Big brother had fun showing little brother how to stop, drop, and roll. Even for young kids taking the time to get in a habit to go over fire safety could make a big difference in a emergency.
I had hoped to put something together for this week some time ago and make it a little more exciting. However, I had to tell myself that simple is good. And for my boys this was just enough for their age and they had fun. I was happy that we took the time to set up a family plan in case of a fire. We hope you too may be able to have some simple learning and fun with these activities and craft.
