Messy Rating: 1 / 5
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Great for all ages including adults.
The idea is to be able to hang important quotes, milestones, reminders, pictures, etc. to a place where you will always see them. This may be a bedroom, hospital room, office, bathroom, or any place else. Kids can cut out/decorate shapes and parents can write milestones on them, teens can write song lyrics, kids can draw important pictures. This activity will likely be therapeutic for all involved, and a constant reminder of positivity in the space where you put it.
Ingredients:
Ribbon or String
Tape
Scissors
Construction Paper
Markers
Clothes Pins
Directions:
1. Tape or tie string/ribbon to a wall or between two objects. Clothes pins tend to stay upright when ribbon is secured tightly to a wall.
2. Cut out shapes and write on/decorate them. I personally wrote quotes that I want to wake up to every morning. Another idea is to write a child's milestones and date them with a picture on each.
3. Pin the shapes to the clothes pins
4. ADD TO IT OVER TIME - this therapeutic activity does not have to be a "one time thing"!
