Kids Activities
Place mural paper on a table or floor, or tape multiple pieces of printer paper together to create a large sheet. Tape a block near one corner. “This block is a cornerstone. A cornerstone is the most important stone in a building. All other stones are built around it.” Invite kids to work together to draw a building using the block as the cornerstone.
