Safety Town: Teaching Kits Life-Saving Skills in a Fun, Engaging Way 

Safety Town programs are an innovative way to teach young children important safety lessons while providing them with a hands-on, interactive experience. Typically designed for children aged 4-8, these miniature cities are set up in a controlled, child-friendly environment where kids can learn crucial skills like road safety, fire safety, and emergency preparedness.

At its core, Safety Town aims to equip children with the knowledge and tools needed to stay safe in a variety of situations. Through lessons that involve mock streets, traffic signs, and even miniature vehicles, kids learn about pedestrian safety, the rules of the road, and how to safely interact with the world around them. Instructors often guide children through practical scenarios, such as crossing streets safely or identifying safe behavior during a fire drill.

The benefits of Safety Town programs extend beyond basic safety education. They help children develop problem-solving skills, increase their confidence, and build a sense of responsibility. By learning in a fun, hands-on environment, kids are more likely to retain safety information and apply it in real-world situations.

These programs are often hosted by local police departments, fire stations, schools, or community centers, and they can be an essential part of a child’s early education. Parents and caregivers can feel confident knowing that their children are learning life-saving skills in a safe, supportive environment.

In addition to fostering safety awareness, Safety Town promotes community involvement and teamwork. Children engage in group activities, making it a valuable social experience as well. Whether it’s through interactive games or simulated emergencies, Safety Town ensures that every child is prepared to make smart, safe choices.

 

Safety Town Surfacing & Paint

A big part of safety town success is the fun and colorful design.   This appeals to kids and makes it a fun place for them to play and learn.  Our goal is to provide colorful and durable surfacing & paint for the ultimate safety town experience.  While our standard SportMaster recreational surfacing system can be used, our ColorPave coating system offers the same mix of colors with additional durability.  ColorPave can also be mixed with a heavier load of silica sand in order to fill new asphalt voids and increase slip resistance for bicycle and pedestrian safety.

SealMaster ColorPave System for Safety Town Surfacing

The ColorPave System is a 100% acrylic coating system, designed for asphalt pavement & properly built and prepared concrete surfaces.  This color coating system is ideal for safety town surfaces due to its durable acrylic binders.  ColorPave is vibrant, fade-resistant, and fortified with silica sand to provide a slip-resistant surface for foot and bike traffic.

 

Here is the standard color chart for the ColorPave System.  There are 17 standard colors to choose from, and many more color options with the ColorPlus Fusion pigment system.
