Reminding Kids They’re Loved
Create paper hearts that remind children of the special people who love them.
- Talk together about well-loved family members and close family friends.
- In each heart, help kids draw or write a few words about a different person and their relationship. You might ask, “What are some things you love about (person’s name)?” or “What do you do together that makes you feel happy inside?”
- Help kids cut out the hearts. They can keep them in their pocket to remind them all day long that they are loved.
