Why are children fascinated by fire?
It’s not surprising that fire captures the interest of children—and adults too! Fire is colorful and dynamic. Its movement is gentle and soothing. From a child’s point of view, fire seems the perfect toy: colorful, animated, and responsive. It also seems comforting, warm, and helpful. It lights our birthday cakes and holidays, cooks our meals, and warms us at campfires.
