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.
Applications and drawings on paper
In most crafts, a paper or cardboard base is used as a base on which other materials are applied. This technique is suitable for small and older children due to its ease of implementation, and at the same time the child learns concepts such as general and particular, and masters techniques for processing various materials.
Bulk craft
For the little ones, you can draw a simple drawing and divide it into zones into which bulk material needs to be placed. The most commonly used are semolina, buckwheat and rice, legumes and peas, collected seeds and seeds of various plants, you can use crowded balls of napkins.
From colored paper
The simplest applique, which will be complemented by a drawing, is made up of paper elements; paper can be replaced with fabric. The theme of the colored paper applique should be plot-driven and tell a specific story that will tell children how to act in a dangerous situation.
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.
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.
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.
