This is not a craft page. It is a practice page — six sheets that teach a preschooler what to do before they ever need to do it. Stop, drop and roll on the poster sheet, so the steps stick. A fire drill walked through with a teacher. A candle blown out by a grown-up while a child watches and learns. Matches crossed out, because some things are never for touching. A ladder out of a window, and a meeting place sign for the whole family. Print the pack, talk through each sheet together, and practise the drill for real — the colouring is the easy part, and the practice is the point.

Ages 3–5, with an adult present for every sheet — these are safety lessons, not solo colouring pages. The stop-drop-and-roll poster (fs-37) and the matches sign (fs-48) are the simplest to talk through; the fire drill (fs-39) and meeting place sign (fs-54) are best done as a family or classroom activity; the candle sheet (fs-47) and escape ladder (fs-53) need an adult to explain and demonstrate.

Stop, Drop and Roll

Start with the poster (fs-37). It shows the three steps — stop, drop and roll — in big, clear pictures. Practise stop-drop-and-roll on a rug together, then keep the poster on the wall where your child can see it every day.

Fire Drills and Meeting Places

Walk the fire-drill route with your child (fs-39), from their bedroom to the front door and out to the meeting place. Then pick your family meeting place together and draw it on the meeting place sign (fs-54) — somewhere safe, outside, and easy for a small child to remember.

Candle and Match Safety

Candles and matches are never for touching. On the candle sheet (fs-47), a grown-up blows out the candle while your child watches and learns. The matches sheet (fs-48) is a simple rule to colour and remember: matches are crossed out, because some things are never for touching.

Escape Routes

Talk through the escape ladder sheet (fs-53) together, then draw your own home escape route on it — which window, which ladder, and where to go once you are outside.

How to print (A4 and US Letter)

Print the PDF single-sided on A4 or US Letter, at 100% scale. Colour each sheet, then act it out: practise stop-drop-and-roll on a rug using the poster (fs-37), walk the fire-drill route, pick the family meeting place and draw it on the sign (fs-54), and draw the home escape route on the ladder sheet (fs-53).
