Why

Getting along with each other is one of the most important aspects of life. This thought-provoking and enjoyable project is for everyone!

Steps

1. Why is it important to get along with each other? Why are close friendships cherished in your life? How can we all work together to take care of each other and our Earth?
2. With your friends, find a Peters Projection map of the world. In the middle of a large sheet of craft paper, draw a picture of the Earth with Crayola® Washable Markers. Color in the continents and oceans. Older children could color in countries.
3. Draw children from many cultures circling the globe and holding hands in unity and friendship. Represent authentic clothing styles, facial features, and other details to make your children as diverse as possible.
