You can help prevent children from getting hurt on the farm by providing safety information and training to your kids. Often children learn best by seeing, touching, doing and having fun in the process. If you are in the teaching role for either your own kids or others, there are many teaching tools and demonstrations that can help young learners understand the concepts of safety on the farm. Demonstrations are available to show the dangers of grain handling and the resulting entrapment and suffocation that can occur. Toy tractors and inclined boards help adolescents comprehend the importance of driving large equipment safely.
Puppet show packets encourage children to put on their own performance of farm safety.
