Make a Friendship ScrapbookWhat you will need:
Discuss with your child all the types of friends they have such as school friends, neighborhood friends, family friends, animal friends, book friends, imaginary friends, and so on. Talk about the friends they’ll want to include in their scrapbook. Create a scrapbook cover out of cardboard or paper grocery sack, and use newsprint or recycled computer paper for the pages. Draw a picture, or make a collage on the cover. Then draw pictures of friends on the pages, or cut pictures from magazines to represent friends and paste them in the scrapbook. Write or dictate to someone who will write a sentence about each of the friends by their picture in the scrapbook. Read the book together often. |
