HANDS-ON ACTIVITIES
ACT 1: Ready? Let's Create!
From the objects you've collected, select two objects:
Object #1 represents a strength or value of yours, something you are proud of.
Object #2 represents something in your home or family that inspires you, that gives you comfort
Once you're done selecting, gather together and share why you chose those objects.
ACT 2
As a family, create an image with objects that describes what your home is made of.
Have fun!
