Preschool Activities: Firefighter Pretend Play

November 5, 2014

Preschool Pretend Play Fire Fighters | A Girl Named PJ

Whenever I pick up Levi from nursery school, I ask him about his playground adventures. Did he go down the slide? Did he crawl through the hippopotamus tunnel? Did he play with any of his classmates?

The other day he told me that he pretended he was a firefighter. “I had a stick, and a pretend hose, and wore a pretend purple-and-black hat,” he explained.

We’re about three weeks into Levi’s new fascination with fire and firefighters, which began when a fireman (and his puppet) visited his school during fire safety week. Levi learned about fire alarms, “stop, drop, and roll,” and calling 9-1-1 when there’s an emergency.

I’m not sure he fully understands what qualifies as an emergency, however, as he pretended to call 9-1-1 in the car yesterday to tell them we arrived home.

This past weekend in Buffalo, Levi was excited to pretend play firefighters with his 4-year-old friend, Spencer. The two boys ran around the house in plastic hats (with and without their pants), breaking down “houses” with hammers and zooming toy firetrucks across the floor. They were hysterical — and loud.

So very, very loud.

If your preschool-age son or daughter is as excited as Levi about the idea of climbing up ladders and putting out fires, here are some firefighter gifts to consider for the holidays.

Day 12 | No photos from today (well none worth sharing) because I sat in front of my laptop from 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. working on deadline. My busy work day also meant that my kids didnt get very much of my attention. My husband kept them occupied for some of the day but I dont think they got any schoolwork done. Oh well we all deserve a lazy day every once in a while. I know I do! | So whats this photo? Just some of the amazing birthday presents I received from my friends this weekend!

I wish I could do more educational activities with them like taking alphabet walks and tallying up different items around the house but Im totally overwhelmed with a huge deadline this week. In fact I had to keep working after the kids went to bed and now its nearlyC-Quarantine Day 8 | Ive felt anxious many days this past week but today was the first day I had the blues. Not sad about anything specific. Just ... sad. Cabin fever? Exhaustion? We decided to get out of the house to look at the cherry blossoms in Bethesda. The Kenwood neighborhood was quiet so we parked and walked down a side street keeping our distance from the few other people out and about.
