Have a go: Self Care Memory Box
Whats in a box?
Which box you use and how you choose to decorate your memory box is entirely up to you. You could use a mixture of different art forms, including collage, paint, pens or crayons. You could attach other materials to your memory box, cut out windows or create a sculpture using recycled materials.
Use the prompts provided on this page to inspire you to create your own personal self care memory box in a way that is meaningful to you.
Our self care is as unique and special as we are. It can be helpful to think about what self care means to you. Use these prompts to explore your thoughts either in your mind or by writing things down.

Will your box stay closed, with personal messages hidden away? Or will you keep your ideas open and exposed, with important messages in view?
