Fire is like magic to children. It represents warmth, light and celebration. However children need to know about fire has a scary side if it is misunderstood. You should take the time, from an early age to teach them everything they need to know in order to stay unharmed in the case of a fire. But how do you do that without scaring or worrying them? Our team at Firenzo have come up with some fun ideas for fire safety crafts to help you educated your child in fire safety.
To begin introducing them to fire safety, ask them what they already know about fire, its uses and safety measures. When you have finished creating your craft ideas, ask them a second time. You’ll be surprised at what they come up with!
