Helping Hands Craft

Step 1

Make a world globe or print one out from here. Cut out your world.

Step 2

Trace your child's hand onto different colors of construction paper. (The number that you will need will depend on how big your child's hand is and how big your world globe is. We made 8 hand cutouts.) Cut out each hand. Be sure to leave some of the "wrist" on the cut out because you will use that part to attach to the world cutout.

Step 3

On each hand, write a way that you want to use your "helping hands" to help others. (You can get ideas on how kids can help other on our sister site.)

Step 4

Flip over your world cutout so the front is down on the table. Glue or tape each hand around your world, with the writing on the hands facing out so that when you look at the front of the world, you are also looking at the hands with the writing on it. Continue with each hand until they are surrounding your world.

Step 5

Hang your world in a place where you will be reminded of your acts of kindness on a regular basis.
