In room 14 we enjoyed a fire truck snack after learning all about fire safety. The children also sang a special song to help them learn about the importance of not playing with lighters, matches, or candles. (Timmy added the candle verse) Firetruck Cookies- Need: Graham crackers, butter knife, plastic butter knives, frosting tinted red, small black creme cookies. First, take out a whole foursquare graham cracker cookie. Gently press the upper left corner of the first square to cut it off. This creates the fire truck's angle. Then let the children spread red frosting all over the graham cracker. Separate one chocolate creme cookie. Then place the cookie halves at the bottom of the cracker, creating wheels. Enjoy!!!

Never Play with Matches
(Sung to "Frere Jacques")

Never, never play with [matches]
NO! NO! NO!
NO! NO! NO!
You might start a fire
You might burn your fingers
NO! NO! NO!

*replace matches with lighter for 2nd verse
