Ahead of time, the teacher will fold a piece of paper into thirds. Draw an outline of a doll on the paper. As the children are able, encourage them to cut out the paper doll without cutting the edges, so the paper doll will stay linked together. Talk with the children about characteristics of what it means to be a good friend and write them on each of the dolls. Some ideas include sharing toys or helping a friend clean up. This can be done in small group.
