This past week we have been talking about friendship and what makes a good friend with our 2’s and 3’s . Below are some of the crafts and activities that were done.
Above is our friendship chain craft, here two paper people were cut out holding hands and then our friends coloured and decorated them.
We also made “friendship cookies”! These were done by first discussing qualities of a good friend (i.e., being kind, helping, and sharing), and then using these to make our “recipe” together. They then glued rainbow chips onto their cookie, and a teacher wrote what goes into a friendship cookie on the chips.
Another craft we did was a friendship quilt, this was done by having each child (and teacher) decorate a “quilt patch” with their hand prints, stickers, colours and cut out hearts. It was very fun to do, and their results were all unique and beautiful!
We also made play dough together and some of our friends recreated friendship people (as can be seen above) with their dough! This is always a great sensory activity that lets their imaginations take over.
