Fire safety.

 

For fire prevention week we paid a visit to our local fire station with a homeschool group.  Ben and Sam loved seeing all the equipment and the real firefighters dressed in their gear.

Afterwards, we did a craft that involved taping a (real) match to a piece of paper and gluing an “X” over it, to remind us not to play with matches.  It only took a few hours for Ben to start asking if we could light the match, and if it would really start a fire.  That craft had to go away in a hurry!

The boys love to play firefighter at home together- here they are dressed up in the imaginary gear they have come up with on their own.  I love the creativity of the swim goggles and the “air tank” which is their sleeping bags.
