Someone mixed up my bike
safety tips.
Can you help me put them
back in order?
Click here to get
started.
If you get stuck, check out my “Top Ten Bike
Safety Rules.”
I know a lot of mother’s
and they all like to read. Why not make a special book in honor of mom?
 What you need:
- Cereal box
- 8 1/2-by-11-in. white paper
- Hole punch
- Ribbon or string
- Scissors
What to do:
- Cut a 9 1/2-by-6-inch rectangle from the cereal box (have a grown-up
help you) and place it picture-side up.
- Fold
it in half.
- Stack your paper, fold the sheets into quarters,
cut along the top, and set the paper inside
the cardboard.
- Punch three holes through the paper and cardboard
and thread ribbon to bind.
Now it’s time to fill in the pages. What would a Sparky book be without
safety tips? Don’t forget to
draw pictures to go along with the
tips. Check out the
ideas below, or think of your
own. This
is a great
thing
to make mom any time of year, because
as you know, being safe is always important.
- Are all matches and lighters up high
and out of children's sight and
reach, in a
locked drawer?
- Are smoke alarms
tested once a month and batteries replaced
once a year
(or when
the alarm "chirps",
warning that the battery is
low)?
- Is there a three-foot "safety
zone" around
the stove to keep children
and pets away from cooking
areas
- Is the Poison Control
Center’s
phone number posted by the
phone: 1-800-222-1222?
- Is everyone
in the family buckled up
in the correct safety seat
for them,
every
time we get in the
car (that means
grown-ups, too)?
- Does everyone
in the family wear a bike helmet when they
go for bike
rides?
