project must-knows
Focus: Support children newly entering foster care or in family crisis with comforting and practical handmade items.
Because these items are often given during emotionally sensitive times, we want to ensure they feel comforting and neutral for every child.
Guidelines:
-
All items must be child-appropriate.
-
Avoid fabrics with themes of drugs, alcohol, smoking, weapons, or offensive language/images.
-
Do not use fabric with words like "family," "mommy," "daddy," "grandma," or "grandpa" — these may be triggering.
Thank you for crafting with sensitivity and care for these children.
