Craft for kindergarten “Fire safety” - how to do it quickly and easily

What are the benefits of such crafts?

The purpose of such creativity:

• Teach children the rules when handling objects that may be flammable.
• Form a clear sequence of actions in case of fire.
• Teach respect for nature.

Children get great pleasure from creating works with their own hands, while at the same time mastering fire safety standards.

Given the complexity of the topic, the child will need adult help. Making crafts together brings people together and evokes a lot of positive emotions.

Crafts are created from various materials, it all depends on the age and skills of the child.

Crafts on the theme of fire safety from beads

Those who love painstaking processes will enjoy creating various crafts on the topic - fire safety from beads . From this material of different colors you can make bright applications with instructive examples of how to protect yourself from fire. If you are a master in this matter, then voluminous works in the form of a fire extinguisher and other figures will be up to you.

Drawing

You can invite the kids to draw a fire and how firefighters extinguish it. Children are not required to produce a highly artistic work, the main thing is that they feel the significance of their creativity. You can draw with pencils, felt-tip pens, crayons, and at an older age - with paints.

Fire safety crafts made from napkins

Napkins are easy to use in the hands of craftsmen. They can be used to make various shapes of products. Fire made from yellow, orange, and red napkins is especially beautiful. You can make this craft yourself and add something else of your own. For example, what should be done at the dacha, in the field, to prevent a fire. After the picnic, be sure to extinguish the fire behind you and do not leave it burning unattended.

Homemade cereal products

Simple DIY creations are made using various cereals: semolina, millet, rice, buckwheat, pasta.

To create a panel, the grains are first painted by mixing them with paint of the required color in a special container. Then dry on a napkin or newspaper.

To create a fire truck, the contours of the car are drawn on a solid base. Spread glue inside it and sprinkle with cereal to form an even thin layer:

• Red – cabin, body, stairs;
• White – doors, stripes;
• Gray – bumper, glass, small parts;
• Black - wheels.

Gently shake off excess cereal. When the car is ready, you can create a general background in the same way - road, smoke, fire, etc.

Crafts on the theme of fire safety - crochet toys

Handicraft mothers can show their children how to crochet three-dimensional figures using a simple technique (single crochets): a fire extinguisher, a fire truck, a courageous fireman. To ensure that the products keep their shape, use hard cardboard or foam rubber as a base.

Made from plasticine

Modeling from a soft plastic material is useful for children of primary preschool age - it develops fine motor skills, at the same time you can tell why it is dangerous to play with matches, why the profession of a firefighter is needed, how they work.

Fire engine:

1. Form a base and a booth from red plasticine and connect them together.
2. On the cab, attach windows made of thin white plates, yellow headlights, a small blue warning light and a black stripe in front - the bumper.
3. Attach small white stripes and numbers 01 to the body, and a gray hose, rolling it into a spiral.
4. Black wheels, apply stripes on them in a circle, imitating the tire pattern. Attach a white or yellow circle in the center.
5. Make the stairs from gray material.

In addition to the car, to extinguish the fire from pliable plasticine, you can sculpt figures of rescuers, helicopters, airplanes, trees, forest dwellers who also suffer from fires.

Equipment according to GOST

From the listed types of fire shields, you can determine the basic configuration of a fire shield in accordance with GOST. This package is standard and includes the following equipment:

• shovel,
• fire protection fabric,
• axe,
• metal gaff,
• buckets,
• scrap.

Fire-resistant fabric is used to prevent fire from growing. It can also help to eliminate the source of fire if its effect is supplemented with primary fire extinguishing agents. The cloth is useful in case of ignition of clothing on a person or with equipment on fire. The panel is created from heat-insulating fabrics. Its dimensions can be 1 or 2 meters in width and length. Handles (2 or 4 pieces) are attached to the edges of the canvas for ease of use. Care should be taken to ensure that there are no stains or holes larger than 10 mm in the fabric.

Fire-resistant sheet fabric with obligatory indication of expiration date

Crowbars, shovels and hooks are used to clear debris that forms during fires.

The purpose of the scrap is to open roofs, clear ice from a well with a fire hydrant, clear fires, and open hatches.

The gaff is a solid metal rod with a hook at one end and a ring handle at the other. The length of the hook should not exceed 2 meters, its weight should start from 5 kg. The length of the crowbar is 1100 mm, the diameter of the device is 25 mm. Its weight is at least 4.5 kg. It should be checked periodically, since cracks or scale may form in it, which should not happen. If the inspection reveals the indicated defects, you should start sharpening and heat treating the tool.

Buckets from fire shields are used to deliver sand or water to the fire. These buckets are painted red and the volume of the buckets must be at least 0.008 cubic meters. m.

Axes on the shield are needed to clear debris and remove obstacles from the path, and to open various structures. The end of a fire ax is very sharp. It consists entirely of metal or is complemented by a wooden handle. If the handle is made of iron, then it should have a rubber coating. It allows you to protect yourself from possible electric shocks if you are dismantling debris from energized structures. This handle also prevents slipping. The wood must be durable. There should be no chips or cracks on it. Periodic inspection of this equipment is required for defects, which should either be promptly eliminated or the instrument replaced with another.

The fire-resistant fabric is placed in a special fabric container. Container sizes may vary. The container can also be made of polymers. The cloth should be cleaned monthly to remove accumulated dust.

The handle of the bayonet shovel should have a length of 1100 to 1300 mm. The diameter of this shovel is most often 400 mm.

Powder fire extinguishers are located on the panel. In winter, they should be removed from the panels, since they may lose their functionality due to the cold. But you can’t just take them off. It is imperative to place on the board information about where the fire extinguishers are placed.

Standard fire shield with water tanks, each holding 100 liters

Barrels for storing water intended for extinguishing fire must have a volume of at least 0.2 cubic meters. m. The barrel should be refilled once every 10 days, and the water should be completely replaced quarterly.

Sand boxes require a capacity of 0.5 to 3 cubic meters. m. Before filling the box, the sand must be sifted and dried. Once a decade you need to inspect it and dry it if there are lumps or moisture. The box should be designed in such a way as to prevent water from entering it, but to ensure convenient removal of sand when the need arises.

From salt dough

Having mastered plasticine, children can make homemade products from a mixture of salt, flour and water. This is also a plastic material, but it dries quickly, and working with it requires some skills.

First you need to prepare the dough:

• In a separate bowl, mix flour and fine table salt in equal proportions (about 200 g each);
• Add 100 gr. sunflower oil, 1-2 tbsp. spoons of liquid. Divide the resulting volume into several parts, and add paint of the desired color to each (you can use vegetable juice);
• Knead the dough until the color is even.

Further, the principle of work is the same as with plasticine. Only after finishing the work should the craft be dried. You can simply leave the product in the room for several days. To speed up drying, you can use an oven, initially cold, and then turn it on at a low temperature.

Do not dry dough crafts on a hot radiator, they may crack.

Felt fire safety crafts

For craftswomen who love to sew, it would not be a bad idea to teach their child this art. At the same time, explain to your child how to properly handle a needle (that it should not be left anywhere after the process). But such a beautiful fire extinguisher is made from a bottle with a sprayer, covered with a felt cover.

Applications

One of the most common types of crafts on the theme of “fire safety” in kindergarten is applications.

With the youngest creators, you need to start with easy options. For example, a product made using palms always looks funny. Colored paper is very suitable for making simple things. To do this, first, the necessary background is created on a thick sheet of paper, then the contours of the parts are drawn on colored pieces of paper, cut out and glued to the workpiece. Large parts are attached first, then smaller ones.

Complex figures can be taken from a magazine or copied and colored. Draw dashes and very small elements with a pencil or felt-tip pen.

Appliques can be made not only from paper; beads, fabric, and felt are suitable for them.

Fire safety crafts made from matches

When you make crafts from matches with your child, explain what dangers can arise if the material is not used correctly. From this raw material you can make both simple applications, like in the first picture, and entire layouts, which will require a lot of time and matches. But the job will be perfect.

Cardboard products

Working with this material is a little difficult, since it is denser. But it makes durable three-dimensional crafts. You can also use cardboard boxes. Fire extinguishers, fire trucks, shields and other equipment in the form of models will serve as clear evidence of the harm of playing with fire.

Older children in kindergarten can create entire compositions, depicting a fire in the windows of houses or brave rescuers in the line of duty.

Three-dimensional crafts on the theme of fire safety: photos

Such works can be made from various materials:

• colored cardboard
• plasticine
• cardboard
• unnecessary boxes
• wood, natural materials
• test
• fabrics

There is a wide variety of subjects for creativity. Look at the images below. You can make a small copy of a house, a fire truck, a small model of an apartment, or just a fire extinguisher, etc.

IMPORTANT : Thanks to such joint crafts, your kids will successfully learn the material about fire safety.

Facing technique

You can create unusual DIY products by laying out a mosaic of small volumetric parts in the form of cones. To do this, corrugated (crepe) paper of various colors is cut into small squares and rolled into little balls. When using this technique, you can use paper napkins, then small pieces are rolled into balls.

Apply the outline of the future product onto a dense base, coat it with glue and carefully install the prepared elements one by one. Press them using wooden sticks, toothpicks or knitting needles.

Crafts on the theme of fire safety - quilling

Quilling is a special technique for creating products from strips of paper. More precisely, these stripes are twisted into spirals or, as they are also called, modules. And from the modules they make either applications or three-dimensional figures. You can make this kind of firefighter yourself from round modules of different radii.

Quilling technique - crafts

Firefighter

A real fire extinguisher is obtained from ordinary plastic containers. The outside is covered with paper or a red cloth bag is put on. Attach mischievous eyes and mouth. The cap will fit any sprayer. If desired, it can be painted black. A cone is rolled out of colored paper and glued to the top. Thus comes the cheerful first assistant to fight the fire.

Every year thousands of fires occur, from which not only people, but also defenseless animals suffer and die. Very often the cause of fire is improper handling of fire. That is why children already in kindergarten begin to be taught that they need to take care of themselves, those around them and nature, and not play with flammable objects.

Joint creativity with parents helps children better understand and remember all the information presented in a playful form.

Paper crafts

The simplest paper fire truck can be made using matchboxes:

1. Its base is made up of 4 boxes, stacked in 2 rows in height.
2. The fifth box is installed on top in the middle and imitates the cabin.
3. All elements are glued together to form a rigid frame.
4. Next, the workpiece is carefully covered with red paper on all sides.
5. The windows are made of white paper, and yellow paper circles are glued as headlights.
6. The fire escape is assembled from 2 parallel wooden branches (skewers) and transversely assembled matches. The ladder can be secured with plasticine.
7. Wheels are taken from broken toy cars or cut out of cardboard.

With the help of adults, it is easy to make paper crafts using the papercraft technique. To do this you will need a thick sheet of paper. The turn of the car is drawn and painted on it. The photo shows a diagram of the headquarters fire truck. The workpiece is carefully cut out with scissors, and the parts are bent in the right places, glued together along the flaps, and the craft is ready.

You can also glue simple compositions from paper. A green background is created on a solid base (cardboard, plywood). A village house is made of paper. Windows and doors made of colored paper are drawn or glued on it, as well as flames escaping from the window. The craft is fixed to the base. A small fire truck is made in the same way.

Road traffic

Applications on the topic of traffic rules are especially interesting. Since using paper it is easy to depict traffic lights and road crossings.

1. You will need paper in three traffic light colors.
2. Create two traffic lights, one with two colors and the other with three.
3. Draw a man on one and a car on the other.

Sometimes it happens that a child can confuse the traffic lights and start crossing the road at the green traffic light intended for cars. If an adult does not react in time, this can cause irreparable consequences for both sides of the movement.

People should look at their traffic light, which has two lights, green and red. Accordingly, the red path is prohibited, and the green path allows movement. Picture it that way!

On a large traffic light with three colors, draw a large red cross. And on the second there is a green tick in a circle.

Through these activities, you can learn all the basic aspects of traffic that your child will need. And when the child goes to school alone, he will be able to easily navigate and not get lost when he sees two traffic lights.

• It's easy to make big cars out of paper milk cartons. The headlights are made of paper, and the bumper is made of toothpicks.
• The man can also be assembled from toothpicks using chestnuts (if the season of the year allows).
• Several installations will briefly and easily explain the dangers of the road.
• You cannot cross the road without adults; even with an adult you should look around and make sure there are no cars.

Be careful about your child's safety. Crafts are just a way to explain the correct actions in the event of a fire or other threat. Or behavior to prevent such dangerous phenomena. You can use photographs of a burning forest. They will definitely evoke sympathy for the inhabitants of the forest.

Home Security

Home safety plays an important role in a child's development. Once children are taller and able to take things off the shelves, new safety topics need to be introduced.

Create a short comic. For this you will need felt-tip pens or pencils.

1. A cooking stove is drawn on a piece of paper. The burners should be depicted in red, thereby indicating their temperature.
2. A child touches the stove and severely burns his hand.
3. The child decides to repeat his mother’s actions and drain the water from the pan into the sink, but cannot cope and is doused with boiling water.
4. You need to eat carefully and slowly, otherwise you may choke.
5. You cannot drink various liquids without adult permission.
6. Well, the last picture can depict careful handling of cutlery. Especially with knives and forks.

All crafts should be created as clearly as possible and accompanied by clear explanations of the actions. It is better to show the fork and its correct position in the hand. Explain that the knife is held in the dominant hand and the fork in the other.
