Beep Beep Day
It’s a Beep Beep! Day on Wednesday 24th April , organised by Brake, the road safety charity. They’ve teamed up with Timmy Time to help save little lives on our roads.
Road safety is a subject that even the youngest children know something about because road danger affects everyone. Danger from traffic is a big factor in whether families are able to walk and cycle safely in their community. It affects their ability to be healthy and socially active.
Even though very young children shouldn’t walk or cycle independently, they are still at risk of being hurt or killed when walking or cycling. It’s not a nice fact to hear but every day six children are killed or seriously injured on UK roads – that’s equivalent to a whole class of children every single week.
It’s never too soon to start teaching your little ones about the importance of staying safe on our roads. So let’s teach our little ones the basics of road safety on Beep Beep Day with Timmy Time!
- Holding hands with a grown up when walking near roads
- Crossing roads at safe places with a grown up
- Using a child seat when travelling by car.
Why not print and colour in these postcards to help your little ones learn!
