December 20

Prompt: December 20

My darling, you look marvelous!

Have you done something new with your hair?

My goodness, you’re glowing!

Compliments always make me feel fabulous. Let’s make a paper chain and write a compliment for someone we care about on every link. It’ll look quite festive, don’t you think?

Activity

This is a fun way to focus on personal kindness and decorate at the same time! If you need a tutorial, I like this one.

1. Use a ruler to cut even strips of colorful paper.

2. With your kiddo, write a compliment for a member of your household on each strip.

3. Twist a strip into a circle, then glue, staple, or tape the ends together. Then put a second strip of paper through the first, form into a loop, and secure. Continue until you have a paper chain of the desired length.

4. Hang your compliment chain in a visible location, so everyone can enjoy some kind words.
