Creative approach to learning
Unfortunately, not all kids will listen to you if you just lecture them. Uninteresting information quickly disappears from their heads. Therefore, you need to take it using other methods.
And one of these methods is creating crafts with your own hands on the topic of fire safety, road safety, water safety, and more. This will obviously attract a lot more attention and force them to absorb at least some useful knowledge.
Fire truck made from matchboxes
Among the most common crafts on the theme of fire safety is a fire engine made from matchboxes. To make such a craft, you must perform the following manipulations:
- The base of the machine is created from 4 boxes, which are laid in two rows.
- The fifth box is placed on top in the center, creating an imitation of the cabin.
- All parts are glued together to form a rigid frame.
- The workpiece is carefully covered with red paper on all sides.
- White paper is used to create windows, and yellow circles are glued in place of the headlights.
- The fire escape is formed from 2 parallel wooden skewers and transversely placed matches. Plasticine is used to secure the ladder.
- Wheels can be taken from old broken toy cars or cut out of cardboard.
This version of the craft is quite suitable for presentation, both in a preschool and at school.
Rescue of a drowning man
With the help of crafts on the topic of water safety, you can protect your child from the possibility of drowning when swimming in a river or lake due to wrong actions. Most little children love the cartoon “Smeshariki”. So find out from your child about his favorite heroes and bring to life the idea of saving a drowning person.
Let’s say, if a child loves a pig and a rabbit, then let her swim too far, and he decides to save her with the help of a lifebuoy. All this can be played out by using materials such as plasticine.
After the work is finished, and the baby learns that he can’t swim too far and needs to stay close to adults, he can just play with his favorite characters.
Volumetric crafts
Studying photos of crafts on the topic of fire safety, you can also note voluminous projects. But making them requires certain creative skills.
There are several options for creating volumetric crafts:
- Volumetric figure. As an example, we can use a fire, which is one of the most common causes of fires. Logs are laid out on a cardboard sheet, which is a cylinder made of thick paper. In the middle there is a flame, which is pre-cut out of red, yellow and orange paper.
- A three-dimensional painting in the form of a double-leaf postcard made of thick paper. On the inside of one of the halves, various figures are glued to the pre-bent edge: a fire, trees, firefighters, which are pressed using the second flap. On the second half, an applique or drawing is formed.
For older children, more complex craft options are available. For example, you can create a “fire fighting” composition using various elements, construction sets, plasticine, matches.
This composition option is suitable even for regional or city creative competitions.
Each of the presented craft options will allow the child to better immerse himself in the topic of fire safety. If you explain to your child from childhood, even in a playful way, how dangerous it is to play with fire, then in the future you will be able to avoid a lot of troubles.
Crafts for kindergarten
Every year in kindergarten there is a competition for making crafts on the topic of safe behavior in various dangerous or unfavorable conditions.
If a child does not want to do anything creative and learn the rules, then let him know that if he can create something truly unusual and beautiful, he will receive a gift.
And also his work will be kept on a public stand and both children and adults will clearly appreciate and admire his talent. Such words will light up the eyes of any person, and he will undoubtedly take up this matter.
Plasticine crafts
Among the DIY crafts on the topic of fire safety, there are quite a few options made from plasticine.
This material allows you to create both three-dimensional figures and applications on cardboard. Using plasticine of different colors, you can easily make a fire truck, ladder and firefighters.
Using this material, children will not only be able to learn the features of fire safety, but will also gain minimal handicraft skills. If you have talent in fine arts, you can create a real picture of ashes by telling your child in detail about the negative consequences of playing with fire.
Craft for school
The school is also an institution that is responsible for the safety of the children there. And the main task of teachers is precisely to teach useful lessons to students and protect them from various disasters and regularly occurring crimes.
Therefore, they also hold competitions and exhibitions of similar children's products. And they also encourage talented students for their efforts and diligence when working on such a significant project.
