All Together Now

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.

Safety Guidelines

Adult supervision is required for any arts & crafts project. Observe children closely and intervene as necessary to prevent potential safety problems and ensure appropriate use of arts and crafts materials. Some craft items, particularly beads and buttons, are potential choking hazards for young children. Avoid use of such small parts with children younger than 3 years. Craft items such as scissors, push pins and chenille sticks may have sharp points or edges. Avoid use of materials with sharp points by children younger than 4 years. Read all manufacturers' safety warnings before using arts and craft supplies.
