Every day, adults and children are on the streets as pedestrians, drivers, passengers. Everyone should know how to behave on the roads, especially primary and preschoolers. They are injured in road accidents due to ignorance of these norms.
You can teach them everything quickly if you teach in the form of a game and engage with the children to create the necessary interesting crafts according to the rules of the road. Co-creation and craft-based play activities contribute to their proper performance on the road.
The main task of parents is to help children understand why they need to know and observe traffic rules, how to prevent danger.

Principles of road signs creation
The guys know road signs well, they assess the situation on the street faster than others, and practical work contributes to better memorization.
Simple crafts:
- Stand manufacturing. Instruct the child to cut pictures from magazines or newspapers and place them on the stand.
- Drawing signs. The kid draws simple signs himself, in case of difficulty, the elder helps him.
- Execution of the application. Draw geometric shapes of the desired shape and color on a dense surface.
- Cut them off. Draw, paint, cut, glue the missing parts of the road sign to the base.
For example, we are looking at the step-by-step creation of a sign "Pedestrian traffic is prohibited": cut out a white cardboard circle of the base, place a black silhouette of a person in the middle, make a red rim along the edge of the circle, cross out the figure of a pedestrian with a red stripe.
Another example, for a sign "Pedestrian crossing". Make the rectangular base white. The same rectangle in blue, cut a triangle in the center of it. Glue the blue and white blank. Place a man walking on a zebra in the triangle.
Older children perform tasks of greater difficulty, such as a simulator in the yard. And then everyone can play.
For this:
- Choose a location near the object where children often have to cross the path.
- Mark it as a pedestrian crossing.
- Install traffic lights. In a dark plastic bottle with two holes, adjust the device to turn the light on and off.
- Close the circles with red and green glass. Install the traffic light on the pipe and secure it.
Making children's handicrafts on the topic of road traffic is a fascinating activity, it encourages you to be careful on the streets of cities and villages.
Miniature microdistrict
Parents are very anxious when their beloved children go to school on their own and return home. You can make a mock-up of crafts traffic to school, where you indicate the safe path of the child.
The composition consists of houses, schools, kindergartens, shops, roads and sidewalks. And everything is located on a regular sheet of cardboard.
The order of work is as follows:
- Draw up a diagram of the microdistrict on cardboard. Mark roads, intersections, objects on the way from home to school.
- The wide gray stripes are the road, the parallel narrow stripes are the sidewalks.
- Buildings for various purposes. Boxes with glued windows, doors, signs, decor.
- Install trees and shrubs made from scrap material.
- Perform road markings, intersections, pedestrian crossings.
- Put up traffic lights and signs.
