Lend a Hand -- Heal a Heart

What good deeds can you do? Celebrate volunteer efforts and connect with other people!

1. Talk with friends, parents, and teachers or other group leaders about the many ways people can help others. Make this project with a friend to show how much you care!

2. On construction paper, trace around your friend’s spread-out hands with a Crayola Washable Marker. Ask your partner to trace your hands on another sheet. Color your hands with Crayola Multicultural Markers.

3. You might read a story to your little brother or serve snacks at a club meeting. How does it make you feel when you volunteer to help? Show your ideas in a colorful picture. Describe your act of kindness or community service with words, too.

4. Share your creation with others to encourage them to volunteer.

Adult supervision is required for any arts & crafts project.
