Rights of the Child
In January 2002, the United Nations in Special Session revisited their 1986 Declaration on the Rights of the Child. During this session they listened not only to heads of state, medical, social, and educational specialists, but also to kids about what issues most impacted them. As a culmination to their discussion, they developed a new list of ten rights which every child should have. Included in the January 2003 Connections Box is a coloring poster on the Rights of the Child to be used with the March 23rd lesson.

The poster is available below as a free download. Adobe Acrobat Reader is required for viewing and printing the poster.

We encourage you to print and copy the poster for each kid. Print a copy of the Rights of the Child Poster to read through and discuss as kids color the Right of the Child coloring page. Display the kids' artwork in the congregation to inform others or let kids share them in their schools. The print size is 8.5" x 11"; however, you may wish to enlarge the coloring page for younger children.
