Fire Safety in Preschool

This week we learned about fire safety and firefighters.

Sensory Bin: Spraying Fire

Our sensory bin was filled with spray bottles and foam "fires" to spray.

Building and Dramatic Play

We also had "fire blocks" in the block center, that led to some dramatic play with putting out the fire in a building like a firefighter.

Fire Art

We mixed yellow and red finger paint to create orange fire art.

Fire Safety

We also talked about fire safety in the preschool and at home. We located our smoke detector and fire extinguisher, and practiced the things to do in case of a fire. One simple motto that we practiced was:

"Don't Hide, Go Outside!"

To top it all off, we took a field trip to the local fire station to learn more about the firefighters in our community.
