It can be hard to know how to talk about war to kids, but even young kids often know a little bit about what is going on just from hearing the news or other people talking about it.
It’s a great idea to answer kids’ questions and calm their fears as honestly as you can in whatever way is appropriate for their age. But kids often want to be able to do something or make something that can bring them comfort or serve as a sign that they’re thinking about other people who are in a crisis.
This peace dove yarn wrapping activity from Sun Hats and Wellie Boots gives kids something to do with their hands while you talk about their worries, or they can work and send good thoughts or prayers to the Ukrainian people.
The blog post has a printable dove template, a couple of prayers you can say while working on your doves and ideas for display or use of the doves after you make them.
