The earlier children learn about safety, the more naturally they will develop habits that lead to lifelong patterns of safe behaviour. These activities introduce topics - such as seat belt use, fire and burn prevention, and tobacco and alcohol awareness -in developmentally appropriate ways to help children take care of themselves.

This book includes

An overview of the safety topics covered in the curriculum
Suggested interest area materials and supports for creating the learning environment
Learning objectives and vocabulary words
Suggestions for evaluating children's understanding of each safety topic
More than 30 classroom activities
