Ideas for Home:
Match Hunt
Have a match hunt. Hide pieces of paper cut in the shape of a match around the house. When your child finds a match he/she must alert an adult to throw it out. This will reinforce the Never Touch Matches rule.
Fire Engine Cookies
Graham crackers, red frosting (cherry or strawberry), oreo cookies, black licorice
Cut off one corner of a cracker. Frost with the cracker. Split the oreos apart and place one on the front and one on the back for the wheels lay a black licorice across the top for the ladder.
