Paperchains - activity for 7-11 year olds
Developed by Place2Be‘s Art Room team for 7-11 year olds, this activity helps children think about the people, things, and activities they feel connected to.
In this activity, children are encouraged to make paper chains to help them feel connected to the people and things they care about.
“I feel connected to people when I think of the sky. I'm reminded that we all share the same sky, even though the sky doesn't look the same everywhere.”
Chimaine, Art Room Developer
