520 _aThis workbook is an accompanying text to the picturebook called The Invisible String by Patrice Karst. The workbook is most effective for children who have already read The Invisible String, but if that's not possible, parents or caregivers can explain its core concept: that we are all connected to people (and animals) that we care about by invisible strings that can reach anywhere in the world, into space, and even beyond death. (Note: some activities rely on having a copy of The Invisible String to hand.) Children can complete the activities in any expressive format that they choose: drawing, writing, singing, music, dance, collage etc, so craft supplies might be required. The activities explore attachment and loss in creative ways and most can be done by individual children or as group activities. An example activity is What Travels Along My Strings, in which children choose a song, film or place that reminds them of a person who they are connected to by invisible string. There are activities that focus on short-term losses such as having after an argument with someone, or if they've gone away for work, and permanent losses including death. The Strings from Above activity assumes a viewpoint that includes belief in an afterlife of some sort, so parents and caregivers may wish to consider how to address this. The instructions are written for young readers but there are notes to caregivers with most activities, and tips for adults who may be overseeing the use of this book as a therapeutic tool. Activity book. Audience: Child 7 – 10 years, or younger with an accompanying adult; Health care professional, Adult caregiver
