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.
Paper fireman's water hose
If you need to provide the kindergarten with a craft related to fire activities, you can focus on making a fireman’s water hose.
To create this craft you will need the following materials:
- Empty toilet paper roll;
- Blue colored paper;
- Scissors;
- PVA glue;
- Black handle.
Having prepared the specified materials, you can immediately begin making the craft. Strips are cut out of blue paper; they will act as water. The strips are glued to one end of a roll of toilet paper.
To indicate that this is a water hose, you can leave an inscription with the name on it.
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.
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.
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.
Interesting and Easy Craft Projects
If you receive an assignment in kindergarten or school that involves making crafts on the topic of fire safety, you should not give up. Such products can be made with different designs, taking as a basis a certain plot that the child will like and this will help attract him to work.
Knowing the child’s age, you can choose the best idea and the creative process will certainly captivate the child, and along the way, you can explain fire safety rules to him. Under the careful guidance of their parents, children will be able to make three-dimensional crafts from paper and plasticine, draw a picture or glue an applique.
When considering many ideas, it is important to focus on the age limit and take into account what techniques the child already knows. Any work will differ in complexity and the number of elements used, the difficulty of assembly and the amount of time spent on the creative process.
Volumetric products
Three-dimensional crafts that are designed to draw attention to the problem of fire safety look as clearly as possible. This could be a mock room created in a cardboard box, a large fire truck made of bright red cardboard, or a burning house with paper flames.
When creating installations, you should not use scenes that frighten children, which can negatively affect their psycho-emotional state. The child must understand that in case of a fire it is important to act according to plan and always seek help, which is reflected in crafts and finished installations.
Paper crafts
For young children who are just getting acquainted with paper processing techniques, it is better to use simple and accessible ideas. You can make a bright fire truck from colored sheets; for this, a rectangular box is covered with paper, and hoses from cocktail tubes are glued to the roof.
Cardboard rolled into a tube with glued bases will turn a boring figure into a cheerful fire extinguisher. Such an interesting assistant will help the child understand how to behave in an unforeseen situation and what to look for in the room, and will ensure an expansion of the vocabulary used.
Salt dough modeling
Children love to play with Lego, but not all figures are suitable for making crafts, but you can make them yourself from salt dough. After complete drying, the figures will not blur for a long time, will retain the desired shape and can be painted in bright colors using paints.
The soft and pliable dough can be used to sculpt individual figurines of firefighters and a house, a fire truck and the inhabitants of the house. You can also glue ready-made figures to a cardboard base and create an original and very unusual picture or three-dimensional applique from lightweight materials.
Ordinary plasticine can replace salt dough, but applications using it will not retain their visual appeal for long. An applique coated with airy plasticine will look original and can be used to easily make crafts with a large number of small details.
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.
