This past weekend, we were able to attend a friend’s birthday party that was “fire truck” themed. G was able to sit up inside of a real live fire truck — and the buttons, controls, hose knobs, and switches were oh-so-appealing and cool!
It’s no secret that kids love to pretend to be their favorite community workers — more specifically, rescue workers.
That’s why I’m so excited to tell you that Learning Resources recently debuted yet another installment in their super-fun “Pretend & Play” line: The Pretend & Play Emergency Rescue Set!
The Pretend & Play Emergency Rescue Set would be an educational and fun addition to a playroom’s dress-up bin OR a primary classroom! The set includes:
* A helmet (with working light and siren sounds)
* A pretend hammer, ax, and pick
* A pretend walkie talkie
* A megaphone
* A fire extinguisher
* A firefighter’s vest with detachable badge
It’s so fun to watch the kids don this firefighter’s costume and “take charge.”
The props are sturdy and varied for lots of creative play.
The included parents’ safety guide includes activities to help build your child’s awareness of fire safety. This kit is a great jump-off point to help you sit down as a family and discuss fire safety rules, fire prevention, and escape plans.
You can purchase the Learning Resources Pretend & Play Emergency Rescue Set from Learning Resources’ online store for $27.99, or check at any of these other retailers for product availability.
Win it! Courtesy of Learning Resources, one of you can win your own Pretend & Play Emergency Rescue Set!
