BURRILLVILLE – A new year is here, and we have a lot of great kids safety coloring cartoons and feature articles about family safety that will be published throughout the entire year of 2024.
Most of the kids safety coloring cartoons will feature the very popular, “Seasons Of Safety,” seasonal content, as well materials created for the upcoming holidays and nationally recognized safety focus weeks and months all year long.
Every Sunday, over the past four years, these kids safety coloring cartoons have been created and published to help educate and entertain children, with cartoons related to many safety topics and concerns. There are also important tips and messages on these coloring cartoons that focus on healthy habits, exercise, nutrition, hygiene, anti-bullying and family values.
A new series of kids safety coloring and activities cartoons will be launched in 2024 for children as well – and it’s much more than just child safety we aim to improve. The articles published every week directly correspond to the kids coloring and activities cartoons, and offer safety tips for the entire family. Teachers, librarians, daycare staff, community center leaders, non-profit organizations, child safety advocates, police officers, firefighters, first responders, pediatric doctors and nurses, as well as family clinics and children’s hospitals, are continually utilizing these kids and families safety materials as handouts in their own cities, towns and communities hoping to keep children safer. Reminding kids about their safety and how to prevent unintentional injuries and possibly worse, is a priority for many parents as well. Thousands of these child safety coloring cartoons are passed out to kids at car shows, cruise nights, media events, restaurants, diners, auto dealerships, retail businesses, grocery stores, automotive shops, vehicle repair garages, car washes, parades, family festivals, fairs, farmer’s markets, art and craft festivals, grade schools, daycares, libraries and community events throughout the year, every year. These are all made possible by caring community businesses that support and sponsor the take home handouts.
This week’s kids safety coloring cartoon features the Fearless Dino Protector Squad firefighter dinosaurs with firefighting apparatus at the ends of their tails, reminding kids not to play with fire and to, “Drop Low and Go!” in case of a fire. It also features the award-winning and nationally recognized child passenger safety cartoon character dinosaur with a great big smile and a seatbelt for a tail, Buckleupallofus, reminding kids to, “Boost Up! and Buckle Up!” and, “Don’t Become Extinct.”
Have a safe and happy new year everyone!
