It may not be as fun a topic as, say, superheroes or unicorns, but discussing fire safety with preschoolers is crucial. According to the U.S. Fire Administration<\/a>, each year, an estimated 300 people are killed and $280 million in property is destroyed as a result of children playing with fire. More specifically, notes Stanford Medicine<\/a>, the majority of these fires are started when curious kids are left unattended in either their bedroom or the living room.<\/p>

It’s impossible for parents and caregivers to have their eyes on little ones 24\/7, but covering the basics of fire safety for kids<\/a> will definitely put you ahead of the game. And what better way to drive home this super important information to preschoolers than with a craft<\/a> they can get immersed in and then hold (or hang!) as a tangible result?! <\/p>

From toilet paper roll “fires” to the classic firefighter hat, these easy fire safety crafts for preschoolers are both fun to do and educational. (And, yes, you likely already have everything you need in your cupboard.)<\/p>
