For those who are unfamiliar with ChildGuard America, here is a little information. ChildGuard America opened their doors in 2001. The founders were horrified with the numbers of children missing every year, so they came up with a plan to educate children and their parents about stranger danger. Their books and identification programs have won acclaim from children, parents, and teachers combined. With offices in both Maryland and Arkansas, the organization does an outstanding job at covering both sides of the country.

Now, let's discuss a great tool in teaching a child about stranger danger. If you have never heard of Ed The Elephant, he is a catchy character from ChildGuard America. Ed appears in stranger safety themed coloring books from Dalmatian Press. He has become somewhat of an icon in many homes. Ed The Elephant stands for one thing and one thing alone, and that is keeping children safe.

Ed The Elephant promotes safety to children throughout the United States. In 2004, Walmart teamed up with Ed The Elephant and began retailing coloring books and safety stickers in more than one thousand stores. Check with your retailer to see if they carry the popular coloring book, if not it is available online.

Walmart is a strong supporter of missing children organizations, so their participation in this program is not surprising to many. Walk out of any Walmart store and there are boards covered in missing children posters. It may seem normal that they would promote this activity book, but it is truly extraordinary that they are the leading retail store offering to sell this book in many of their locations. Walmart's dedication to keeping children safe is truly amazing.

Utilizing this unforgettable character, ChildGuard America is able to reach children of all ages. The children adore their Ed The Elephant Child Safety Sticker Activity Coloring book. The book is packed with coloring pages, mazes, word finds, dot to dots, sticker pages, and an array of other fun activities that will keep children busy for hours. Even better, the children learn important lessons about stranger danger, walking alone, and learning to get out troublesome situations.

This activity book not only contains strong messages regarding stranger danger, it also contains tips for parents. It is an excellent book to read together. It is simple to use the book for education of any child while reinforcing the messages within by coming up with safety plans with your child.

With hundreds of kids disappearing every week, Ed The Elephant can be an exceptional tool in keeping your child safe. The activity book costs a minimal amount, so you should not overlook this valuable tool. After all, you cannot set a price on your child's safety.
