It’s a Win, Win, Win! — Your children do a safety-themed coloring project, you have a comfortable way to engage them in discussions about stranger danger and child safety, and they win a Free Safety Teddy Bear!

Hey Kids!

You all want to be safe,

But you’ve got to know how,

Join our summer safety contest –

You can start coloring right now!

Every week for five weeks,

The Yated Ne’eman will bring to you,

A safety message to learn,

Be sure to color it in too!

When you’ve learned the safety rules,

And your coloring is all done,

You can win a “Let’s Stay Safe!” Teddy

And be so safe, while you have fun!

In response to the recent child abduction attempts in Lakewood, each week for five weeks, the Barry and Harriet Ray Child Safety Awareness Campaign of the Center for Jewish Family Life is sponsoring a coloring contest for kids.  The coloring pictures, will be printed in the center of the magazine section of the Yated Ne’eman, contain five critical safety messages to empower the children to keep themselves safe. Our coloring pages were adapted by Lakewood artist, Mrs. Tova Leff, from our best-selling children’s safety book, “Let’s Stay Safe!” (an ArtSchroll/Mesorah publication). All children ages 3 – 8 who color all 5 safety pictures will receive a certificate for a free safety teddy bear!

The first coloring picture, teaching children how to respond to stranger-danger, appeared in the Shabbos Nachamu issue of the Yated Ne’eman.  If you missed it, you can  download it here for your children to color,  or send us an email at [email protected]  and we will email it to you.

JUST FOR PARENTS:  Rabbi Yakov Horowitz has also created a special  4 ½ minute safety video to teach parents how to comfortably and easily discuss stranger-danger with your children.
