%X INTRODUCTION: The aim of this study was to teach the risks of home accidents to preschool children (aged 3-5 years old) using a painting method. METHODS: This study was a semi-experimental, single group, pre-test/post-test model. This study was conducted in an institution of preschool education. A total of 87 students were selected from the 3-, 4-,and 5-year-old age groups in kindergarten using a simple random sampling method. The "Home environment risk determination form" and home environment "Home picture showing risky situations at home" were used to teach the children in the study. RESULTS: After training, children were found to be significantly more likely to recognize accident risk in their home environment (p<0.001). Generally, recognition of accident risks in all rooms was found to be higher after education. DISCUSSION and CONCLUSION: After training, children are more likely to recognize the risk of home accidents. Information may not always lead to behaviour change, but children¡¯s ability to recognize the risks of accidents was good. To teach children younger than 6 years about protection from home accidents effectively, educational methods appropriate to their cognitive skills should be used
