This coloring sheet is perfect to start a conversation about how firefighters save us from the mishaps. Depending on the intensity and source of the fire, you will need a combination of red, orange, yellow, and even blue. Start with yellow at the base of the flame (or the hottest part) and gradually transition into red and orange as you draw the flame upwards. Use dark red, purple or blue to depict the cooler parts of the flame. Remember, fire is not uniformly colored, so mix and blend the colors. How can I add more detail and realism to my fire coloring? Give each child yarn to make his or her craft into a cute piece of wall art for the classroom or at home. 7. Create a Unique Abstract Poster

Firefighters, besides extinguishing the fires, are also responsible for rescuing people trapped in buildings and vehicles. Firefighters take huge risks while saving others from mishaps and extinguishing fires caused due to various reasons. They have to think on their feet when they are conducting a rescue operation. Since, firefighters have to face unforeseen circumstances, but they have to keep calm in face of danger. That’s why firefighters are considered heroes. It takes lot of courage to be a firefighter and save lives by putting one’s life at danger. 15. Extinguishing the Fire:Do not mix all the colorants together. You won’t get a rainbow! Most likely, you’ll end up with a yellow fire. This is because sodium (in table salt and also naturally in wood) overwhelms other colors. For a multicolored fire, it’s best to add several pine cones, each treated with one colorant, or a mix of dried colored sawdust. Even with separate colorants, it’s best to avoid adding “yellow” because it’s so bright. Where to Find Flame Colorants Like other home chemicals, flame colorants should be kept out of reach of children and pets. Read and adhere to any warnings on chemical containers. Encourage your child to trace the letter F in upper and lower case with a crayon or pencil color of their choice.

Borax is often used to wash clothing, so you can find it in the laundry section of most grocery stores. Any excess cardboard at the bottom or top should be trimmed off. Next, some pipe cleaners can be bent into the shape of a hose and glued to the hands of the cutout. This coloring sheet features a fearless firefighter with his hose, ready to extinguish the fire. The firefighter hooks up his hose to a hydrant to get water, so that he can control the fire. Perhaps some more muted colors would work nicely for this more low-key sheet. What colors will you use to finish it off? Dissolve the colorants in water. Soak pinecones, rolled newspapers, sawdust, or cork in the liquid. Allow the fuel to dry and then add it to a fire for a pop of color.
