Make Pretend Smoke Detectors
Take two snack-size paper plates
and put one on top of the other.
Help your child staple or tape the
two plates together and "decorate"
them with a red dot or a red
sticker. This is a great opportunity
to discuss fire safety with your
child, and also a reminder for you,
mom, to check those batteries!
Smoke Detector Hunt
Go on a scavenger hunt - help your
child find all the smoke detectors
in the house. Explain their use.
Fire Fighter
With red and yellow sidewalk
chalk, draw flames outside on the
ground, and let your child "put out
the fire" with water bottles. For
added fun, pull out the water hose
and see if your toddler can give it a
good spray.
Do this Fire Engine Egg Carton
Craft or this Easy Fire Truck Craft
by DLTK Kids. Note, check the
older toddler lesson plan for
advanced craft ideas on this
theme.
Fire Station Tour
If you're involved in a playgroup, or
if your child has a group of
neighbors or family members who
would like to participate, arrange to
tour a fire station. At the least, you
can drive by the nearest fire
station, explaining to your child
what it is, and possibly run inside
to request a plastic child-sized
fireman's hat.

I'm a Firefighter

And help make things safe for you.

Listen to them shout!
