Wants and Needs
What to do:
Children often want many items, but they really don’t need those items.
- Children can cut out or rip out old magazine pictures or draw items that they would like to have, then talk about them and compare them with what they really need to have.
- Make a collage or mural of the things children decide are really needed to live instead of just wanted.
