Are you looking for some fun and engaging ideas to teach children vital core values? Meet Behavior Bear, Do'er Duck, Friendship Frog, Healthy Hippo, Manners Monkey, Respectful Rabbit, Responsible Rabbit, Self-Esteem Elephant and Warm-Hearted Walrus! Joni Downey, author and creator of these characters is offering painting classes for children to introduce these characters and allow them to paint a masterpiece and a memory. Be sure to visit the website to see additional classes and locations. You must be registered to attend. If you can not attend classes, please know that there are books you can read with your children, do activities with and discuss what it means to have these values. Just visit the website and click on the trait you would like to work on with your children. Always feel free to reach out to me at jonidowney310@gmail.com I truly believe that when a child understands the meaning of these traits, they internalize them, model them and become them. It's also up to you to be a role model for your children, believe it or not, they are watching you, listening to you and most likely want to be just like you!
