step by step instructions
video instructions
Before creating the boat, on one side of the paper, write Storms I face” (stress, anxiety, pressure, loneliness, conflict, etc.) on the other side, write - My shore / my anchors” (friends, family, music, sports, faith, etc.)
why: This activity helps individuals externalize challenges while identifying the supports and strategies that help them navigate difficult moments. The hands-on boat creation provides a hopeful visual reminder that while everyone faces rough waters, they also have tools and supports that can help carry them safely to shore.
