Registered nurses from the Burn Treatment Center present programs that include songs and scripted, educational plays using life-size puppets.
Children interact directly with the puppets during question and answer sessions after each skit. This unique form of communication provides young people with a safe environment to learn about burn prevention and fire safety. Hopefully, the understanding gained from these performances will serve them well for the rest of their lives.
Puppets appear here courtesy of Kids on the Block, Inc., Columbia, Maryland.
"Fire prevention and safety were presented in a very entertaining way. The kids loved - and learned - from it!"

"The puppets are a great way to drive home important issues in a non-threatening way. The presentation fit perfectly with the district health curriculum on safety!"
