Add Some Art

Sometimes just writing is not enough fun for kids, they need more! So, I suggest having some writing going on within some art activities. Art is always a subject the kids love, use that to your advantage. One art project that I have found and love is 'The Map of Your Heart' project. It is absolutely adorable while at the same time helping the kids with their writing skills.

For this project the kids would make a heart (either drawn or cutout) and write in all of the different things they love and why. They can maneuver each piece around in any way that they want. If they want to go even further they can illustrate each of the things that they wrote out. The decoration of the heart comes next! This is always a fun part.
NOTE: be prepared to become a little emotional when reading your children's heart map!
