Safety
Storybook
Follow Sunny Shield as she uses her safety powers at home, at the park, and online!
Chapter 1: Superhero at Home
Sunny Shield wakes up bright and early. She tip-toes into the kitchen and sees a toaster plugged in.
Before touching it, Sunny Shield asks her grown-up: “May I help make toast?”
Her grown-up smiles and guides her hands safely.
ASK FIRST!
Sunny knows: Water and electricity don't mix! She dries her hands before using the hair dryer.
That makes her a home safety superhero!
Chapter 2: Stranger Surprise
Sunny Shield strolls to the park. A stranger approaches with a bright balloon. “Would you like a balloon?” the stranger asks.
Sunny Shield remembers her rule: Never go with someone you don’t know.
Sunny Shield says, “No, thank you,” and walks back to her grown-up. She tells them what happened.
NO, THANK YOU!
A Stranger Safety Superhero!
Chapter 3: Safe Tech Time
At home, Sunny Shield sees a tablet. She wants to play a game.
But first, she finds her grown-up and asks: “May I use the tablet?”
Safe apps are for photos and learning!
Mystery apps? Ask first!
Sunny knows: Always ask first and only open apps a grown-up approves.
That makes her a technology safety superhero!
Now it’s your turn!
Remember Sunny Shield’s three safety powers:
