In this blog post, we’ll provide tips on how to teach your preschooler about fire safety in a fun and wholesome way.

Create a fire safety plan together

Create a fire safety plan together with your preschooler, and make it fun and interactive! Use coloring pages or drawing activities to create a visual representation of your plan.

Use storytelling

Use storytelling to teach your preschooler about fire safety! Tell them stories about firefighters and how they help people, and discuss the importance of staying safe in case of a fire.

Play fire safety games

Play fire safety games with your preschooler to make learning fun! For example, play a game where your child has to identify different fire safety items, such as smoke alarms or fire extinguishers.

Show your child how to use fire safety equipment

Show your preschooler how to use fire safety equipment, such as smoke alarms or fire extinguishers! Make it a hands-on experience by letting them practice using these items in a controlled setting.

Avoid using scare tactics

Avoid using scare tactics to teach your preschooler about fire safety. Instead, focus on teaching them how to prevent fires and what to do in case of a fire.

Role-play fire safety scenarios

Role-play different fire safety scenarios with your child, such as finding the best exit route or how to dial 911! This will help them understand what to do in case of a real emergency.
