Once those finished smoke detector coloring pages start piling up, put them to good use with these 10 easy and affordable craft ideas!
Cut out your colorful smoke detector, then glue it onto a sturdy piece of cardboard or an old cereal box. Trim around the edges, then use a safety pin or a glued-on magnet on the back to wear your very own fire safety reminder badge.
Glue your colored smoke detector onto a larger paper plate. On the plate around the detector, draw sections for “Test Daily,” “Check Batteries,” or “Stay Safe.” Use a brad to attach a paper arrow to the center, letting you spin to reveal important fire safety reminders.
Cut out your finished smoke detector drawing and glue it to a craft stick or a sturdy pipe cleaner. Add a small speech bubble made from construction paper that says “Chirp! Chirp!” to create a fun puppet that reminds everyone about low battery warnings.
Design and draw an emergency escape plan for your home on a large sheet of poster board. Cut out your colored smoke detectors and glue them onto the map at the locations where real smoke detectors are installed, clearly marking your safety points.
Cut out your colored smoke detector. Glue it onto a piece of contrasting construction paper. Use a small circle of shiny yellow or red construction paper, or even a piece of glitter, to simulate the blinking LED light, creating a bright reminder for your wall.
Cut out two or three of your best colored smoke detectors. Use pipe cleaners to create spring-like coils by wrapping them around a pencil. Glue one end of each coiled pipe cleaner to the back of a smoke detector and the other end to a plain headband, making fun, bobbing alarms.
Create a simple chart on cardstock with columns for “Month” and “Battery Checked.” Glue your colored smoke detector at the top as a header. Hang it by your smoke detector so you can mark off monthly battery checks and ensure your alarms are always ready.
Glue your colored smoke detector drawing to the center of a large cardboard circle. Divide the circle into pie slices and draw different fire safety scenarios or actions in each slice (e.g., “Stop, Drop, Roll,” “Call 911”). Spin a paper arrow to create a safety story game.
Punch a small hole at the top of several cut-out, colored smoke detectors. Tie different lengths of string through the holes. Suspend them from a hanger or two crisscrossed popsicle sticks to create a hanging mobile that reminds everyone to look up for safety.
Inside a shoebox laid on its side, create a small room scene with construction paper walls and floor. Glue your colored smoke detector cut-out to the “ceiling.” Use cotton balls or crumpled tissue paper to represent “invisible smoke” rising, showing your detector at work in a mini-display.
