Does anyone know of a good craft for kids about Fire Safety Week?
I work in a library and we have storytimes for the kids each week. We need a Fire Safety craft for Fire Safety week. I’ve looked all over the internet for one and have been so far unsuccessful. So I was wondering if anyone knew one off of the top of their head.
DIY Replacement windows?
My husband and I bought an older house (1930?) and it’s got the most awful windows you can imagine. When we bought it, the basement bedroom windows were painted and nailed shut and covered with plastic. For fire safety, we had someone "fix" the windows, but essentially what he did was sand them down to the point where you can see daylight around the edges. The work was free to us (gift from our realtor) so I couldn’t do much about it. Anyway, I can’t afford to have professionals come in and install all new windows in the house. I’d like to, before winter, at least get the basement bedroom windows replaced so my kids, my husband and I don’t freeze to death. Where can I find REALLY good, visual, step-by-step information (book form or online would be great) to buying windows from Home Depot or Lowes and installing them myself? Thanks!
RE: expanding foam – I don’t want the windows to be inoperable.
Need ideas for activities that teach elementary kids about safety?
I have been doing research but I’m not finding much. I need to come up with an activity for elementary kids that will teach them about some kind of safety (fire safety, electrical safety, playground, traffic, bicycle, kitchen, safety in the home etc.) It must also be an activity that is interactive like something they can touch or move can’t just be something they read or listen to. I was thinking maybe some kind of game but I am stumped for ideas. Thank you so much!!!!
