Old magazines

Directions:
Together, talk about times when your child has gotten hurt while playing. You might say, "Zak must have really gotten hurt if he never wanted to fly again. Did you ever get hurt while you were playing? How did it make you feel?"
Then ask your child to think of some ways that he can make sure that he stays safe when he plays. You might talk about protective equipment, like bicycle helmets and kneepads, and being cautious and careful when you're playing.
Together, look through old magazines to find pictures of people who are playing safely. Help your child cut or tear the pictures out of the magazines.
Ask your child to glue or tape the pictures to a sheet of construction paper to make a "We Play Safely" collage.
