With it being HEALTH AND SAFETY MONTH this month, we talked about FIRE DANGER today and many of the things that could burn us. We did a walking tour of the house and talked about the many things that aren't safe to touch ever--like the water heater. It is a good subject to review with your preschooler as they are naturally very curious creatures. We also did many Fire Drills at my house today and talked about the three ways we could get out of the house if there were ever a fire here--this is something I do with my own children once a year.
We also talked about something which is very common with young children, and that is not to hide from a fire! A lot of children think they can hide from a fire--next time you watch the news listen if there was a small child who died in the fire and they will have often found them in a closet or under the bed. (One of our preschoolers tried to tell me if you found a really good hiding place, then the fire couldn't get you!) Make sure to review your own fire plan at home!
On a much lighter subject...
We read Goldilocks and the Three Bears and did a really fun bear craft today.
