Crafts on the theme of fire safety: projects of interesting and simple products for kindergarten and school

Subject Features

Every educational institution pays great attention to fire topics, and the task of parents is to promote such upbringing of the child at home. When making crafts, children gain certain labor skills and develop fine motor skills; they become familiar with fire safety rules and the difficulties of working in the Ministry of Emergency Situations.

Crafts can be taken to kindergarten or school, submitted to a competition, or simply used as a toy.

In the works on the topic under consideration, the following main plots stand out:

1. What causes a fire and how dangerous it is. You can reflect the following directions: “Matches are not a toy”, “Be careful with fire”, “Do not light a fire in nature”, “From a spark begins a flame”, etc.
2. Actions in case of fire. Of particular interest are fire extinguishing means and equipment. A bright fire truck is a popular craft. By making a fire shield, the child gets acquainted with the basic methods of fighting a fire.

Children's crafts can be created from different materials depending on the age and skills of the child. It is important to start with simple things, gradually moving on to more complex products.

A funny presentation of a serious topic

When creating crafts about fire safety, set a cheerful tone. Drawings and crafts should not be alarming. Concern with a touch of humor and jokes - this is the main direction of such children's crafts. Along the way, the rules of behavior of people in case of fire are studied. What to do and what not to do.

There should be an explanation for children why they are not allowed to use matches. Along the way, crafts are made from plasticine depicting a matchbox and a fire.

And nearby there is a fire extinguisher and a man with a hose and mask. Here several useful things are done for the child at once. He gains knowledge, trains his fingers, his mind, and learns things useful for life. It turns out to be fun in the form of a game.

Paper crafts

The simplest paper fire truck can be made using matchboxes:

1. Its base is made up of 4 boxes, stacked in 2 rows in height.
2. The fifth box is installed on top in the middle and imitates the cabin.
3. All elements are glued together to form a rigid frame.
4. Next, the workpiece is carefully covered with red paper on all sides.
5. The windows are made of white paper, and yellow paper circles are glued as headlights.
6. The fire escape is assembled from 2 parallel wooden branches (skewers) and transversely assembled matches. The ladder can be secured with plasticine.
7. Wheels are taken from broken toy cars or cut out of cardboard.

With the help of adults, it is easy to make paper crafts using the papercraft technique. To do this you will need a thick sheet of paper. The turn of the car is drawn and painted on it. The photo shows a diagram of the headquarters fire truck. The workpiece is carefully cut out with scissors, and the parts are bent in the right places, glued together along the flaps, and the craft is ready.

You can also glue simple compositions from paper. A green background is created on a solid base (cardboard, plywood). A village house is made of paper. Windows and doors made of colored paper are drawn or glued on it, as well as flames escaping from the window. The craft is fixed to the base. A small fire truck is made in the same way.

Fire truck out of the box

The easiest way to do this is to use self-adhesive colored polyethylene film or self-adhesive colored paper.

First of all, we wrap the entire box with red film.

Glue the box

Then we glue the necessary parts of the car: wheels, windows, doors. We make windshields and radiator grilles look like eyes and a mouth - it will be more interesting. To give it a resemblance to a fire truck, we glue on a characteristic detail - a fire escape.

Glue the wheels, window and stairs

We construct flashing lights on the roof of the car from pieces of foam cardboard (you can also use other materials, for example, corrugated cardboard or plasticine).

Ready!

The car turns out to be so interesting and beautiful that such a craft could well be submitted to a competition.

Plasticine models

One of the first craft materials that a child gets acquainted with in early childhood is plasticine. You can make a beautiful fire truck out of it.

Master Class:

1. Two large parts are formed from red plasticine - the base and the cabin, which are connected to each other.
2. Windows made of thinly rolled white plates, yellow circles of headlights, a small blue signal light and a black bumper (a strip of black plasticine at the front bottom of the cab) are fixed to the cab.
3. Thin strips and a number (01) made of white plasticine, as well as a fire hose coil in the form of a spiral made of gray plasticine flagellum, are installed on the base.
4. The wheels are made of 2 parts: first, a disk is formed from black plasticine, a notch (tread) is applied to it along the perimeter, and a yellow circle is attached in the center.
5. The ladder is made of gray material: cylinders with a diameter of 5-7 mm are formed and installed in parallel. Steps of the same color are attached to them.

Plasticine is a very malleable material. In addition to the car, you can make figures of firefighters out of it. A firefighting helicopter or airplane looks modern.

Cross made of matches

You will need: 300 used matches, cardboard, template, glue and the mandatory presence of parents!

Master Class

1. Print the template.

2. Cut it out and transfer it to cardboard.
3. Glue 4 matches in the center of the cross, as shown in the photo.

4. Apply glue to the top half of the cross and fill with matches.
5. Apply glue to the other half of the top and also fill with matches.

6. Fill the side parts in the same way, then the bottom part of the cross. It is worth noting that the glue must be applied as indicated by the numbers on the template.
7. Glue the matches slowly so that the work is neat.

The cross made of matches is ready!

Applications

One of the most common trends in fire themes is applications. A simple craft in the shape of a fire truck is made from colored paper. The photo shows a cutting diagram. The outline of the parts is drawn on paper and cut out. On a thick sheet of paper on which the desired color background is created, the largest parts are first glued, and then the small ones are attached to them.

It is more difficult to make a composition. The photo shows a firefighter fighting a fire. His figurine can be cut out from a magazine or printed on a color printer, assembled from a certain number of parts cut out of colored paper. Lines and very small details are drawn with a felt-tip pen.

Cardboard roll machine

Let's consider the most popular example - a diagram of a craft machine. It is quite simple to implement it. Even your baby can handle this.

You will need:

• cardboard toilet paper roll;
• gouache;
• cardboard sheet;
• colored paper;
• polymer glue;
• several push pins.

For tools, prepare scissors, a brush, a compass, and a ruler.

Drawings

Crafts in the form of drawings require certain skills, but in kindergarten one should not strive for artistic performance, the main thing is that children feel the importance of their work.

The photo shows an example of how a child sees the process of extinguishing a fire in a house using fire equipment. Of course, parents should help as much as possible in choosing a plot, then the best drawings can be submitted to the competition.

Children's creativity uses colored pencils, felt-tip pens, and wax crayons. Gradually mastering watercolor and gouache.

Another direction is drawings by adults for children. They must reflect basic fire safety rules. The photo shows how you can attract children's attention to the phone number to call in case of a fire.

Fire extinguisher

You will need: 2 spray bottles, black, white, yellow and red tape, scissors, water.

Master Class

1. Partially cover the plastic body of the sprayer with yellow tape.

2. Cover most of it with red tape.

3. Add white and black stripes as decoration.

4. Fill the spray bottles with water and let the kids play firemen.

The fire extinguisher is ready! I recommend watching this video!

Crafts from cereals

Quite simple crafts can be created from semolina. To do this, colored semolina is prepared: the cereal is mixed in a container with gouache of the desired color until a rich shade is obtained and dried. For a fire truck you will need red, black and gray semolina, as well as undyed (white) semolina.

The outline of the machine is drawn on a sheet of thick paper or cardboard. Glue is applied inside the lines and red material is poured in a thin, even layer, and excess grain is shaken off. Then other colors are carefully formed into small details. When the picture is ready, glue is applied to the paper outside the outline, creating a general background of unpainted semolina.

Firetruck from a big box

You can make a fire truck with your own hands from a large box. To do this, we cover the box with red paper. Glue a white rectangle on top of the red paper - the windshield of the car.

Cover the box with paper

We decorate the front of the car with headlights made of foil cardboard. We make the car bumper from ordinary cardboard.

Glue the bumper and headlights

We glue paper “glass”, “wheels” and “ladder” to the side of the car. We leave a hole in the top of the box that a child can climb into. Firetruck from a big box - ready!

More complex crafts

As you gain certain skills, you can move on to more complex crafts. Already at school age, interest in other technologies appears. Attention is paid to quality of execution, volume and layout.

Volume projects

Volumetric crafts are created in different ways:

1. Volumetric figure. An example would be a campfire, a common cause of fire. Logs (cylinders of thick paper) are laid out on a sheet of cardboard; a bunch of “flames” cut out from colored paper in red, yellow and orange are collected in the center.
2. Three-dimensional pictures are made in the form of a double-leaf postcard made of thick paper. On the inside of one of the halves, various figures are glued to the bent edge: an image of a fire, trees, which are pressed by the second flap, but when it is turned away, they take a vertical position. On the second half, a drawing or appliqué is made. When positioned vertically, it creates the main background of the picture.

Complex crafts are available for older children. The photo shows the three-dimensional composition “Fire Extinguishing”. In it, each element is made in different ways. For example, in the photo the fire truck is made of Lego, the firefighters are made of plasticine, and the burning house is made of wood rods laid in the form of a log house.

Home Security

Home safety plays an important role in a child's development. Once children are taller and able to take things off the shelves, new safety topics need to be introduced.

Create a short comic. For this you will need felt-tip pens or pencils.

1. A cooking stove is drawn on a piece of paper. The burners should be depicted in red, thereby indicating their temperature.
2. A child touches the stove and severely burns his hand.
3. The child decides to repeat his mother’s actions and drain the water from the pan into the sink, but cannot cope and is doused with boiling water.
4. You need to eat carefully and slowly, otherwise you may choke.
5. You cannot drink various liquids without adult permission.
6. Well, the last picture can depict careful handling of cutlery. Especially with knives and forks.

All crafts should be created as clearly as possible and accompanied by clear explanations of the actions. It is better to show the fork and its correct position in the hand. Explain that the knife is held in the dominant hand and the fork in the other.

Dough crafts

Salt dough successfully replaces plasticine. It is also malleable, but when hardened it becomes hard and can retain its shape for a long time. This blank can be painted and varnished. Dough recipe:

1. For 200 mg of flour add 150 mg of table salt and 5 tbsp. vegetable oil.
2. The components are diluted with water to the desired consistency.

From the prepared plastic mass you can easily fashion a fire truck and a helicopter, houses engulfed in flames, emergency workers, etc. The workpiece is placed in the oven and dried at a temperature of +70...+80 0C for 1 hour. Accelerated drying is provided at a temperature of +110...+120 0C for 25-30 minutes. After cooling, the hardened workpiece can be painted in any color using acrylic paints.

“From one small spark the forest lights up, my friend!”

When teaching fire safety, much attention is paid to open fire as a source of danger. Bonfires, lit curtains, a saucepan on the stove and, finally, the ill-fated poplar fluff.

All this requires attention and deep study.

Little attention. The children are not at all interested in the lessons. Watch a movie or cartoon - yes! However, if you interest children in non-standard works and even offer to participate in a competition, then there will be attention and persistence. As an option - the all-Russian competition “Burning Bush”. So, we conclude: “You must arouse the child’s interest in any activity!”

Trimming

Unusual crafts are obtained using the trimming technique. Essentially, this is a mosaic laid out from paper elements that will have a cone shape. To do this, small squares are cut from corrugated (crepe) paper and rolled into a cone. Using trimming you can make spectacular volumetric applications and entire panels. Glue is applied to a dense base and the conical elements are carefully installed one by one. They are pressed using wooden sticks, toothpicks or knitting needles.

Quilling

This is a method that is very simple to implement, but gives enormous scope for creativity. His original blanks allow you to convey flames in a variety of ways. Using paper of different colors, you can achieve unique combinations.

Torn applique technique.

Fire can also be made using this interesting method.

Conducting a master class on this technique couldn’t be easier.

1. Take blue thick paper of size A 4. The base-substrate (background color paper) should be thick. Otherwise, strong impregnation with glue will occur, and the sheet may not withstand.
2. A drawing is applied with a pencil to the background template sheet.
3. Pieces of paper are being prepared to represent the flame. Carefully tear the paper, creating pieces of different colors and sizes.
4. We take the largest pieces and begin to fill the space with them (flame, fire, bonfire). Then the average ones. We finish small. Each piece is glued separately. Otherwise, the work will look sloppy.

You need to carefully ensure that the pieces do not protrude beyond the edges of the picture. Otherwise you will end up with sloppy work.

At the same time, we are talking about how fires are put out. What materials do we extinguish with what? Thus, by unobtrusively influencing the child, we try to convey to him the necessary information.

All that remains is to arrange the exhibition and photograph it. So that the children, in the future, can see what beauty they can make with their own hands!

Fabric crafts

Applications using colored patches look very impressive. Such paintings have an important advantage: they can be made soft using thick fabric as a base. The photo shows a warning picture that will remind you of the dangers of matches. The necessary details are sewn onto the woven base. To add volume, cotton wool is placed under some flaps. Human figures or his face can be embroidered or drawn.

Another direction is voluminous woven crafts. In the photo there is a “Fun Fire Extinguisher”. You can use foam rubber or polystyrene as a base. The base is covered with red fabric. Characteristic small details are sewn on. They can be made from ribbons, braid, felt. This craft is absolutely safe for kids.

Positive points

Numerous do-it-yourself traffic rules crafts for a schoolchild or kindergarten child help children understand why road users should give way to each other, what dangerous situations can be, and what non-compliance with traffic rules can lead to.

An easy and relaxed manner is the best way to convey the topic of “safety” to children from various perspectives. Crafts on the topic of traffic rules for kindergarten aim not only to show dangerous situations, but also to explain how they can be avoided.

The heroes of educational products - funny little animals and their helpers - help little ones and school-age children quickly remember the required rules.

Crafts from napkins

Paper napkins make magnificent crafts. One popular option is to roll napkins into small balls and soak them in gouache of different colors. From such elements you can put together a three-dimensional picture. The technology is the same as when working with beads.

Even a small master can make voluminous figures from such lumps. The photo shows a small composition on a fire theme. The frame of a machine or structure is assembled from matchboxes or cardboard boxes. On top it is tightly covered with balls of napkins, painted in the desired color.

Crafts reflecting fire-fighting themes, made by a child together with an adult, help to learn the basic rules of fighting fire. They can be made from different materials and in different ways. It is important to inspire the little master to be creative, and he will receive the necessary information during the process of work.

Firefighter

A real fire extinguisher is obtained from ordinary plastic containers. The outside is covered with paper or a red cloth bag is put on. Attach mischievous eyes and mouth. The cap will fit any sprayer. If desired, it can be painted black. A cone is rolled out of colored paper and glued to the top. Thus comes the cheerful first assistant to fight the fire.

Every year thousands of fires occur, from which not only people, but also defenseless animals suffer and die. Very often the cause of fire is improper handling of fire. That is why children already in kindergarten begin to be taught that they need to take care of themselves, those around them and nature, and not play with flammable objects.

Joint creativity with parents helps children better understand and remember all the information presented in a playful form.

Rescue of a drowning man

With the help of crafts on the topic of water safety, you can protect your child from the possibility of drowning when swimming in a river or lake due to wrong actions. Most little children love the cartoon “Smeshariki”. So find out from your child about his favorite heroes and bring to life the idea of ​​​​saving a drowning person.

Let’s say, if a child loves a pig and a rabbit, then let her swim too far, and he decides to save her with the help of a lifebuoy. All this can be played out by using materials such as plasticine.

After the work is finished, and the baby learns that he can’t swim too far and needs to stay close to adults, he can just play with his favorite characters.

Idea No. 3. Snowflake with road signs

In order not to be limited to a single sign, we will tell you how to make a snowflake on the theme of traffic rules. It’s very easy to make even for a child of kindergarten age, and the big advantage is that there is only one idea, but there are many options for execution, you can let the child show his own imagination and creativity.

So, cut out a snowflake from cardboard or other thick sheet. The form is at your discretion. But it should be taken into account that the number of pictures with road signs that need to be prepared in advance will depend on the number of “rays” of the snowflake.

Cover the snowflake with glitter. The simplest thing left is to glue road signs onto the rays. Here is a clear example of what should happen:

Brave firefighters - warm hearts!

So that children are not afraid of their uncle the fireman, but know that he is always ready to come to their aid, we are launching the “Fireman” application.

1. Take an A4 sheet of paper and place it horizontally in front of you. Better blue or dark blue.
2. We find an image for the blank and transfer it to regular cardboard. We cut out the blanks.
3. We outline the blanks on colored paper on the reverse side.
4. Cut out parts of our applique image.
5. We collect them on a sheet of blue paper and glue them.
6. Now the fire. It will consist of several flames of different colors. You can draw it yourself or use blanks. Don't forget the firewood. If you have chosen birch trees, draw them. If on another tree, colored paper will always come to the rescue.
7. A pipe can be cut out of paper, even water that was used to put out a fire.

All you have to do is learn a song about fire rescuers and the job is done for 5 or more!
