Our bright idea
We organised a road safety week to make our children more aware of their surroundings and prepare them for walking to school, which will be their next big move. The week formed part of a six-week project on 'people who help us'.
We borrowed the child-sized equipment, including a plastic zebra crossing, a lollipop person's outfit and traffic lights, from the local road safety department, contacted via the council. It was nice to have something we didn't have to pay for, and the road safety department even dropped off and picked up all the equipment.
We had the equipment for a week so we took the children, aged three to four-and-a-half, outside in small groups and went through the road safety routines with them.
