Make a Sign to Stand Up for What’s Right!

Make a Sign to Stand Up for What’s Right!

Helping others is rewarding — like Dora knows from her adventures.

Making a simple sign is a great way to practice being an upstander! It’s an easy way for your child to express themselves and to help others.

There’s a lot of “wrong” in the world that we can help right — from people littering in the community garden and pet owners not cleaning up after their dogs to racial injustice and polluted oceans. A great way that children can show what they care about is by making signs or posters expressing their points of view and how they feel. 

Parent/Caregiver Tip: By 3 or 4 years old, children often have a keen sense of justice and notice when something isn’t “right” in their eyes. It’s a great age to introduce the idea of being an upstander to help make a difference for everyone.
