The purpose of the memory bracelet is to provide a creative way to honor loved ones and keep them close. Research shows that \u201cart therapy uses creative expression to provide individuals with a safe outlet for expressing thoughts and emotions to successfully facilitate recovery from psychological distress\u201d(Eaton, Doherty, &amp; Widrick, 2007, p. 1). By creating these memory bracelets it helps children cope and find a way to remember the memories and times they have had with their loved ones.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><span class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">Materials&nbsp;<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u25cf Paper&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u25cf Colored Pencils\/Pens\/markers \u25cf Glue\/Tape&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u25cf Scissors&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><span class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">Instructions&nbsp;<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1.
