Related Episode: Breaking Up Is Hard to Do
Subjects/Skills: Social Skills; Art
Materials Needed:
Scrap materials (empty, clean cardboard boxes, pipe cleaners, paper towel or toilet paper tubes, straws)
Tape or glue
Directions:
Let your child ask a friend or sibling to help him build a "Whatayacallit."
Provide the different scrap materials. Tell them that they can use them any way they like, but they have to work together to build one thing-a "Whatayacallit."
As children work, help them work through any problems that arise. Encourage them to stop and listen to each other's ideas, then figure out a solution that will make them both happy.
When the "Whatayacallit" is complete, have the children think of ways they can fairly share their creation.
