  3. Great ideas! My oldest grandson (nearly 4) loves all things related to policemen (and firemen…and Batman) and will get a kick out of these. Will have to plan on a few for our next activity.

    Thank you for visiting on SITS Sharefest day. I apologize for taking so long to get over here to reciprocate. Great spot and I’ll certainly be back!

  4. I use to teach preschool. These would of been perfect!! I found you on the Pittsburgh bloggers group. Did you guys ever meet? Are you planning on meeting again? I would love to be a part of that. My e-mail is under my contact on my blog.

    • Hi Tanya! Unfortunately we haven’t met yet, at least not that I’m aware of. I’d love for us to plan a meeting some time, I can never make it to any blogging conferences because they’re always so far away 😦 I’ll keep your email handy and if we ever plan a meet-up I’ll let you know!

  5. All of these crafts are great ideas! I am scheduled to give a series of kid-friendly speeches on police officers at my old elementary school and these are just perfect. I’m so excited!

    • I’m so glad this was helpful. I hope the kids like the crafts. It was actually pretty hard to find police related crafts on the internet…there’s so much more out there for firemen! Thanks for commenting 🙂

  6. These are such great ideas! I had no idea there was a Police week. These will be fun to do with my 4-year-old who thinks policemen are the coolest. 🙂

    • That’s awesome! Kids seem to like firemen more than police 😦 My hubby is a cop, so naturally we also think policemen are the coolest! There’s also a crime prevention week (?) in October I think, but with all of the fall/Halloween stuff I usually forget about it.
