Extension Activities:

- Make a Friendship Chain.  This can be done two different ways.  Kids can write a friends' names on strips of paper and then make into a paper chain.  Or they could write attributes they like in friends (ex - cheerful, like to play outside, etc) on paper strips to make into a paper chain.

- Make friendship recipes together.  These are recipes that can easily be adjusted to make individual mini foods for different people.  For example, make individual personal pizzas letting each child add the toppings they like.
