Safety hunt around the home to reinforce safe behaviors

What You Need:

• Paper


• Crayons or markers

What To Do:

1. Create "safety stickers" on the paper that indicate a "no touching" symbol. Use the crayons or markers and draw a sad face or "no" symbol.


2. Tell your toddler that you are going on a safety hunt to find things that are safe and things that are not safe.


3. Take your child around the house to find things that are not safe (e.g., stove, oven, iron). Place the stickers on the dangerous item.


4. Say, “This means the stove is hot. OUCH!” Shake your hand as if it was hot to the touch.


5. Repeat this on various items around the home.
