Emergency Workers
Emergency workers are brave and dedicated. Create a tribute statue to these daily heroes and heroines.
1. Imagine having a job where you might have to sacrifice your life to carry out your responsibilities. People who are emergency workers put their lives on the line every day.
2. On September 11, 2001, police, firefighters and emergency medical technicians (EMTs) were climbing up the World Trade Center and Pentagon stairs while everyone else was climbing down. They were doing what they were trained to do. These emergency workers were thinking about the people who relied on them to lead them to safety.
3. Find out more about emergency workers in your community. Visit a fire station during an open house. Check out firefighting gear at a parade or street fair. Find out about police officer gear and medical equipment. Each occupation has its own unique equipment. Learn about the training required to become an emergency worker.
4. Make a statue to honor Emergency Workers. With Crayola® Erasable Colored Pencils, sketch figures of police, firefighters, and EMTs on recycled file folders. Leave a tab at their feet so you can attach them to a paper-plate stand.
5. Color the people with Crayola Markers. Cut out the figures with Crayola Scissors. Fold tabs under figures.
6. Turn over a paper plate. Decorate it with a tribute to emergency heroes and heroines. Maybe you could write a reminder about the 9-1-1 emergency telephone service.
7. Using Crayola School Glue, attach folded tabs underneath the plate. Dry before standing upright.
Adult supervision is required for any arts & crafts project. Observe children closely and intervene as necessary to prevent potential safety problems and ensure appropriate use of arts and crafts materials. Some craft items, particularly beads and buttons, are potential choking hazards for young children. Avoid use of such small parts with children younger than 3 years. Craft items such as scissors, push pins and chenille sticks may have sharp points or edges. Avoid use of materials with sharp points by children younger than 4 years. Read all manufacturers' safety warnings before using arts and craft supplies.
Scissors—ATTENTION: The cutting edges of scissors are sharp and care should be taken whenever cutting or handling. Blunt-tip scissors should be used only by children 4 years and older. Pointed-tip scissors should be used only by children 6 years and older.
