Signing Up for Friends
Encourage your child to collect autographs from his new friends.
Print this page for kids to bring along when going somewhere new, such as preschool, kindergarten, or a group playdate. Challenge them to collect “autographs” from their new friends (kids can write their names, scribble, or draw a self-portrait). Later, help them count how many they have. Ask kids to tell you more about each friend who contributed.
Safe & Together
When families have to leave home in order to stay safe, it helps to remember that home is where the love is.
Bubble Time
A quiet activity such as blowing bubbles can help both children and adults breathe deeply, slow down… and calm down.
Crayon Power
Coloring together can soothe both children and grown-ups.
See You Later Alligator
A special, loving good-bye routine can make separations easier.
Friendship Bracelets
When it’s hard to be apart from those we love, the littlest things can become big reminders that someone loves us and is thinking of us.
Cloud Watching
Spending time outside can feel like a “reset” on the day.
Pillow Hugs
Hugging a pillow covered with an item of a loved one’s clothing can help comfort children when they’re missing them.
