Eventually, these cards also assist the child in reading and knowing the spelling.
Slow morning in our garden. Tending to our corn plants and marigolds… Staring at the honey bee that stops by from flower to flower. Listening to the song of dawn by magpies and mynas.

Children’s experiences with sitting in the firefighter’s seat, hearing the sirens and seeing how the truck’s equipment is used in practice. These interactions can offer valuable insights into the work of firefighters and the importance of fire safety.
