Friendship Quilt
Materials:
- 12”x12” fabric squares
- Fabric crayons
- Sequins
- Feathers
- Fabric Glue
- “Preschool art treasures”
- Provide each child with a fabric square. Encourage them to decorate their squares any way they want (just make sure you can see their name.) Once all of the squares are complete stitch them together to make a friendship quilt.
Flower of Friendship
Pair your children up and give each pair a white Carnation flower. Help them
split the stem lengthwise. Let each child pick a separate color of colored water.
Put the two stem sides in different cups of colored water and watch a friendship
flower appear (the flower will absorb the color and change colors)
Lets Find a Friend
(to the tune of “The farmer and the dell”)Let's find a friend,
Oh let's find a friend
Heigh Ho the Derry-O!
Let's find a friend!
Pick a Child to start in the center
(______) find a friend,
(______) find a friend,
Heigh Ho The derry-o!
(______) find a friend.
Have the adults stand on the outside to make up the remainder of the circle
so all the children get to be inside. Then Sing:
We all found a friend,
We all found a friend,
Heigh Ho! The derry-o!
We all found a friend.
Friendship Musical Movement
Put stickers on all of your children, have them dance around with music
until you stop the music. At that point they have to find their friend with
the matching sticker.
