The Expressive Arts Activity Book
A great Child Life resouce is The Expressive Arts Activity Book. I ordered this last month after someone on the Child Life Council forum recommended it. I was surprised at how diverse the activities are. They can easily be adapted for use in a hospial setting, and most of them have enough flexibility that they can either be done at a patient’s bedside, or in a group in the hospital playroom. I can see children who aren’t in the hospital enjoying all of these fun ideas as well. It’s a wonderful tool to have for anyone working with children. The book has a easy to use index with activities sorted into categories such as, activities for groups, activities for individuals, activities that can be done at a patient’s bedside, and more.
