On My Island is sure to add some fun to your day with its upbeat tempo and cheerful rhythm. Some days we need to create our island to picture a different life when we are navigating the painful struggles of our everyday life. Allowing children to develop their island physically allows younger children to imagine a new life and older children to talk through what they see as a different world for the time being.

Supplies Needed

• Brown paper bag
• Glue
• Scissors
• Markers

Directions

1. Cut out shapes from a brown paper bag
2. Have children create their own sandcastles out of the shapes
3. Decorate with sand, stickers, markers, or construction paper
