Staying Connected with Invisible String (Activity)

This activity is inspired by The Invisible String by Patrice Karst. The book is the story of a string (made by love) that connects us all.
As we do our part by staying apart, children may be missing family and friends. Try this activity to reassure children that we are all connected.
.
Directions to give your child:
1) Using a white crayon on white paper, press down hard while you color and draw a loop-de-loops. Try to keep your crayon on the paper the whole time.

2) Now, using any color you want, paint over what you just colored and let's see what happens.

Directions for you:
1) Point out how even though your child is drawing on the paper; you can't see the "invisible string." Just like the love we have for our family and our friends is always there connecting us, we just can't see it.

2) Look how the string shows up when you paint over it. When you think of [insert loved one here] they feel it connected all the way to their heart and they feel your love tug on them. Just like the colors show the invisible string, your love for each other shows the invisible string that connect you to [insert loved one here]

3) Who else are we connected to? (This includes you, other special grown-ups in their life, teachers, schoolmates etc.)
