Fire Safety Crafts

Trimming

This technique of three-dimensional crafts is so simple that even a small child can handle it. The material for crafts is paper: napkins, corrugated paper, plain colored paper.

This is a mosaic method of laying out rolled pieces of paper in the shape of a cone. The paper, cut into squares, is twisted into a cone using a rod, pencil or ballpoint pen.

The resulting trim piece is glued onto the base paper. You can make a panel from plasticine and glue paper blanks onto it. The end pieces are pressed with a wooden stick, match or toothpick. Paintings made in this way from corrugated paper look like terry voluminous appliqués.

Crafts from semolina

DIY fire safety crafts made from semolina develop children's motor skills. First you need to color the semolina in different colors. To do this, you need to pour the cereal into different containers.

Add gouache of the desired color to each and stir thoroughly for uniform coloring. Place colored semolina on newspaper or white paper to dry. Draw a sketch on a piece of paper with a simple pencil, apply a thin layer of glue on it, and distribute the colored cereal over the sketch.

It's not difficult to make an applique with a real match. Glue a match onto a white sheet of paper and draw a flame on it using pencils, paints or felt-tip pens.

Poster “Matches are not toys!”

Fire boats are designed to reinforce safe living skills. Quite often, parents and children follow the path of least resistance and use matches in crafts.

Inspectors of the Ministry of Emergency Situations and VDPO categorically do not advise doing this! Because now the child sticks a match to give the painting "vitality" and then decides to set fire to a piece of paper to stick it, burned even for vitality. Therefore, no matter how much you would like to save time and effort in this way, it is better not to risk it.

Posters teach how to conduct matches correctly and can be done in groups at school and kindergarten.

Take a sheet of whatman paper in A1 or A format. 3. Make a “match”. It can be cut out of paper. You can draw with a marker, gouache or watercolor.

We paint over the flame with paints or create an applique using a stencil from colored paper. If the flame is not glued completely, but only at the beginning or at the end, you will get a voluminous applique. We supplement the poster with the words “Matches are not toys!” You need to try to correctly calculate the place for the letters. To do this, we measure the distance that we have for the inscription.

We count all letters, punctuation marks and spaces in a word. Divide the distance in centimeters by the number of characters. We get the distance that we can assign to the letter. Divide the segment into equal rectangular parts. Now we can draw the letters using a ruler. Since the letters are all straight, all we have to do is draw the middle and middle details with a ruler.

Crafts from plasticine

Fire safety crafts made from plasticine are ideal for display in kindergarten. Kids love this material, especially since there are many variations of plasticine crafts: using cardboard, matches and other materials.

You can make a burning house and a fire truck, firefighters on the stairs. In the process of creating themed crafts, adults should tell children about safety rules when handling fire, what phone number to dial if a fire occurs, and other nuances.

This way children perceive information better. On a sheet of cardboard you can create a whole picture from plasticine: a burning house that is being extinguished by firefighters, a fireman saving a person from a fire, a fire truck responding to a call, and so on. The plot of the picture depends on the imagination of its creator.

A fire truck can be made from plasticine as follows:

Form several large parts from red plasticine. This is the cabin of the car and its base, which are attached to each other;
Attach the windows from white plasticine to the base, make the headlights from yellow plasticine, and make the roof lantern from blue plasticine;
Make a fire hose from gray plasticine in the form of a spiral;
Make a wheel rim from black plasticine;
Make a fire escape.

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.

Dough as a material

Crafts about fire safety can be made from dough. Modeling from salt dough is similar to modeling from plasticine. Preparing the dough is not at all difficult: mix 220 grams of fine salt with 220 grams of flour, add two tablespoons of water, 130 milliliters of vegetable oil and a little gouache or vegetable juice to color the dough.

Mix everything thoroughly, the dough should be stiff. Children will enjoy sculpting with dough.

To sculpt from dough, you will need available materials: modeling knives, boards and water to wet the pieces of dough during the process of creating figures.
After all the figures are ready, you need to paint them. For this you will need paints or gouache.
To dry the craft, you can use the oven, setting it to the lowest temperature.

The dough craft cannot be placed on the battery, because it will crack.

“From one small spark the forest lights up, my friend!”

When teaching fire safety, much attention is paid to open fire as a source of danger. Bonfires, lit curtains, a saucepan on the stove and, finally, the ill-fated poplar fluff.

All this requires attention and deep study.

Little attention. The children are not at all interested in the lessons. Watch a movie or cartoon - yes! However, if you interest children in non-standard works and even offer to participate in a competition, then there will be attention and persistence. As an option - the all-Russian competition “Burning Bush”. So, we conclude: “You must arouse the child’s interest in any activity!”

Crafts for school

Crafts on the theme of fire safety for schools differ from those for kindergartens in the complexity of their execution. If young children are able to make crafts from plasticine or dough, draw a picture or make an appliqué, then schoolchildren can independently make three-dimensional crafts from empty cardboard boxes.

You can make a fire truck out of boxes. Schoolchildren can make crafts from beads or scraps, creating complex compositions and beautiful panels. The simplest volumetric craft is a fire.

For example, a fire truck is made from a cardboard box, firefighters are made from plasticine or dough, and a house can be made from twigs, matches and other materials.
