Friendship Heart Chain Materials

Assembling the Friendship Chain

  • Have each child cut out 2 strips of colorful paper. For this example, I used 1″ wide by 5″ long paper strips. Sign one of the papers and put a special note on the other paper.
  • For the first heart on the friendship chain, put the decorated sides of the two matching papers together and staple about a quarter inch from the edge. This will form the top part of the heart.
  • Bring the loose (un-stapled) ends of the paper down and around to form the bottom of the heart. Before stapling together, add the next two paper strips by putting decorated sides together with the first heart, then staple the four papers together.
  • Continue this until all the hearts are put together.
