Permalink Disney's Safety Smarts Starring Timon & Pumbaa Giveaway
A couple of days ago I had the chance to preview the new Wild About Safety with Timon and Pumbaa: Safety Smart About Fire DVD brought to you by Underwriters Laboratories and Disney Educational Productions. This DVD will hit the shelves at Barnes & Noble on November 16th, and is a fun way to teach fire safety to kids (and adults too!).
Seriously, all three of us huddled around the computer when the webcast started, and when the video was played for a second time, we were still there watching!
Timon and Pumbaa engage with chalk drawings,their ever witty humor and catchy tunes, to share the importance of Fire Safety in your home and community.
Did you know that Sunday, October 4 kicks off Fire Safety Week? And a perfect thing for you do to with your kids is watch a short trailer of the 12 minute dvd at http://www.safetysmartdvd.com/.
There is also A Fire Safety Smart Super Challenge at UL in their kids section that is a great reinforcement for safety rules. The Safety Smart Super Challenge also has quizzes for other areas as well.
UL's business is to help make sure that the products you buy are safe to operate and use. They smash, burn, explode (sounds like a fun job doesn't it!) and basically they trash the products before you buy them, so they can help your world be a safer place.
If you've ever been to Epcot at Disney World you will recognize UL as a the sponsors of the Test The Limits Lab in Epcot's Innoventions. We always have a great time stomping to get the doors closed, trying to shatter a t.v. and attempting to smash a firefighters helmet. Kind of gives you a taste of what Underwriters Laboratories do everyday!
Underwriters Laboratories is generously sponsoring a giveaway at Three Different Directions for 10 of my readers to receive a copy of the 11 minute Wild About Safety with Timon and Pumbaa: Safety Smart Goes Green. The loveable jungle animals explore Reducing, Reusing and Recycling as well as ways to conserve water and energy.To enter this giveaway visit UL's Facts and Figures page and comment with something you learned about the hazards that face our children and a solution to help prevent injuries.

That was quite and interesting list. I did not know it only take 5 minutes for a fire to spread throughout a home. We are supposed to have fire alarms installed on each floor of our home near bedrooms (we do) and have an escape plan that our child understands. If I win this film I'm bringing it to my kid's kindergarten class and asking the teachers to show it.
As many as 20,000 injuries per year are attributed to walker products designed for children.
balloons are the number 1 choking hazard.
Carbon monoxide is the leading cause of accidental poisoning deaths in the United States. Newborn babies are more vulnerable to CO poisoning.
Get a UL Listed CO alarm to detect dangerous levels of CO in your house.

5 minutes and your house is totally inflamed the mverno@roadrunner.com
I learned that carbon monoxide is one of the most poisonous gases in the US. No wonder we have those detectors in our house!
Thank you for the giveaway :)

CO is a poisonous gas that you cannot hear, taste, see or smell. Be sure you have a UL Listed CO alarm to detect dangerous levels of CO in your house.

Balloons are the number one cause of toy-related deaths. This is scary, given how ubiquitous balloons are at children's parties.
