Friendship Bracelets Project
Beading Buds focuses on assembling friendship bracelet kits for hospitalized children or siblings who wait patiently for the recovery of a loved one. Beading can improve fine motor skills, finger strength and eye-hand coordination. It can prolong attention span, spark imagination and bring a sense of accomplishment and emotional well-being. This last reason is what Raleigh Acts of Kindness is after, activities that allow children to experience the “joy of giving.” Each bracelet kit consists of two identical sets of beads to make two bracelets, one for the artist and the other one for a loved one.
