Families and children invited to Safety Day at The Woodlands Children's Museum

THE WOODLANDS, Texas – The Woodlands Children’s Museum invites children and their families to meet those community members charged with protecting them.

Safety Day is scheduled from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 24, at the museum located at 4775 W. Panther Creek Drive, Suite 280.

Local law enforcement, fire fighters and emergency medical service responders will be on site, providing an opportunity for children to check out all the cool equipment while discovering the important jobs these brave providers perform.

Children will especially enjoy meeting Hap, the child-friendly drug dog, and watching as he responds to commands.

The local police department will provide fingerprinting kits for families, and the Township Safety Group will share different safety tips.

A storybook reading of “Cell Phone Sally” will teach children cellphone safety and usage in an emergency.

“This is a great way for children and families to learn age-appropriate safety tips,” Angela Colton, the museum’s executive director, said. “And after the event, we invite everyone to stay and play in the museum.”

The calendar at The Woodlands Children’s Museum is full of fun activities, as well as a number of workshops for children ages 4 through 8.
