HeartSkills:Friendship Power Wand
Creative Art Project
Turn kind words into everyday habits—one friendship at a time!
The HeartSkills Friendship Power Wand is a fun, hands-on creative art project that encourages children to practice the friendship skills they learn during HeartSkills: Circle Time with Puppet Pals.
More than just a craft, this special wand becomes a daily classroom tool that empowers children to solve problems using kind words, listening ears, and thoughtful choices.
What's Included
Each Friendship Power Wand Kit includes:
Wooden star wand ready to paint and decorate
Glitter for extra sparkle
Friendship Power Words Poster
After creating their wand, children use it as a special pointer to identify the friendship words and pictures displayed on the included poster. As they point to each word, they are reminded that problem solvers use kind words.
Bringing the Lesson to Life
In the HeartSkills "I Don't Want to Share!" (Learning to Solve Problems with Friends) 5-Day Digital Unit, teachers use the Friendship Power Words Poster throughout the lessons to help children think through real friendship situations.
As children watch their teacher use the poster during circle time, they naturally begin to imitate what they see. Soon, they are reaching for their own Friendship Power Wands to point to the words that can help solve everyday disagreements.
When a friendship challenge arises, children can simply point to a word on the poster and ask themselves:
What kind word could I use?
How can we solve this together?
What would a good friend say?
The result is a visual, interactive reminder that supports positive communication every day.
Extending Learning from School to Home
Learning doesn't stop when circle time ends.
Hang the Friendship Power Words Poster in your classroom where children can continue using their wands throughout the day whenever friendship problems arise.
Families can also display the poster on the refrigerator or another common space at home, giving children the opportunity to use their wand to practice the very same friendship words they learned at school.
This simple routine helps create a meaningful bridge between the classroom and home, allowing children to use consistent language for problem-solving wherever they are.
A Perfect Companion to Milo & Mya
Pair the Friendship Power Wand with the Milo & Mya Puppet Pals and the HeartSkills "I Don't Want to Share!" 5-Day Digital Unit for an engaging social-emotional learning experience.
As Milo and Mya model how to work through disagreements and solve friendship problems, children can use their Friendship Power Wands to identify the words and actions that help friends work together.
Together, these resources encourage children to become thoughtful listeners, caring friends, and confident problem solvers.
The Friendship Power Wand also makes a wonderful stand-alone activity, reminding children every day that problem solvers use kind words.
