Related Episode: Feliz Cumpleaños, Enrique

Subjects/Skills: Art; Emotional Development

Materials Needed:
Empty, clean juice boxes
Sand, pebbles, or paper clips
Masking tape
Construction paper
Drawing materials, such as markers.

Directions:
Talk about how Enrique felt on his birthday. Have your child share times when she felt sad. Point out Quetzal's advice-sometimes crying helps you get the sadness out.

Ask your child to help you make some silly shakers. Let her know that she can use the silly shakers to cheer her up when she is feeling sad.

To make the shakers, she should place some sand, pebbles, or paper clips inside of an empty juice box, then help her seal the top with some masking tape.

Cover the box with construction paper. Ask your child to use drawing materials to decorate her shaker with pictures of things she likes.
