Each month we will highlight a new activity that you can do alone or with your family to remember a person or pet that has died.
This month’s activity:
Butterfly of change
Supplies Needed
Paint (different colors)
Paper
Marker or Crayon
Directions:
For this month’s activity, we are making a butterfly! Grief can change over time and may make us realize things about us we didn’t know, including things that have helped us along the way. Maybe you have discovered new people to share your feelings about, maybe you feel passionate about something different since grief entered your life. Let’s make a butterfly to represent those things. Start by choosing colors of paint for the wings. Next, gently paint your hands and place them on the paper next to each other. Finally, draw in the middle of the butterfly (the body) and write or draw things that have changed for you.
Remember, all feelings are okay to have, and it is important to find safe outlets for them.
