Sarah brought a book called, "The Tooth," by Avi Slodovnick which addresses giving to homeless and read it to the kids. We briefly talked about how some people do not have homes and the simple things we use every day like a toothbrush, chapstick, warm gloves, and food.We then gave each child five bags to fill with the various items and they enjoyed walking around the table filling the bags with blessings.
For anyone interested in doing this activity, there is a great 'how-to' on the link above, and I have included our list of items below.
A video of the reading of "The Tooth,"Avi Slodovnick can be found HERE at Storyline, read by Annette Bening.
We purchased gallon-size plastic bags and filled them with the following items:
- Gloves
- Toothbrush & toothpaste
- Facial tissues
- Reusable collapsible water bottle
- Shampoo, lotion & soap
- Chapstick
- Cough drops
- Band-aids
- Deodorant
- Granola bars
- Cracker sandwiches
- Applesauce
- Gum
