Help the Homeless
Raise awareness in your community about families who are homeless. Your mini-poster can encourage people to make a positive difference in the lives of children and adults.
1. Find out about people who are homeless in your community. Talk with local officials or volunteers at services such as soup kitchens. Look up information. Who is most likely to be homeless? Why? Where can families who are homeless go for temporary housing? How do they fix their meals? What barriers do they encounter with medical care and schools?
2. Create a mini-poster that raises awareness about some of the challenges that families who are homeless face in your area. Show how leaders, teachers, and volunteers like you can help. On white paper, outline your ideas with Crayola® Erasable Colored Pencils. You might create borders, a title, words, and drawings. If you change your mind, just erase!
3. Color your poster with Crayola Twistables. With Crayola Markers, add bold accents and headlines. Perhaps someday homelessness will be erased, too, with the commitment you inspire in others.
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.
