One of my favorite places in Orange County, Pretend City, is having a AAA Road Safety Day tomorrow Saturday, May 19th.
AAA Road Safety Day is presented by the Automobile Club of Southern California. Their guests will have a new way to explore the city by focusing on safe driving. Why? Because it's never too early to help children ensure that they are playing safely in the community and that they understand those important rules which are very important for them to follow for safe play. Through fun activities and new offerings children will enjoy learning safety tips for the road and driving; here’s some of the activities look forward to:
Sensational Story time: Me On The Map - One of the benefits of being an Auto Club member is the opportunity to learn more about traveling! Today their sensational story times will focus on stories that explore a variety of places around the world and traveling.
Plaza Play: City Streets – Every day Pretend City offers a variety of pedal cars for children to drive through the city, including a AAA tow truck. On this day, they will have a special focus on traffic sign/light recognition, directions, and map reading.
Smart Art: Transp-“art”-ation - This smart art activity will combine children’s creativity and a bit of engineering! Children will have the opportunity to use a variety of objects to build their very own cars while learning about safe cars.
When I Grow Up Guest: Police Pals - Police officers play a very important role in ensuring that all citizens in the community are adhering to safe driving practices. Children will have fun experiencing such things as monitoring traffic lights, crosswalks and street signs just like a real police officer.
RSVP: Not required
Fee: Included with museum admission
