Providing a 6-year-old with crayons and a book to color in would be an age-appropriate activity to help the child with the crisis of hospitalization. Painting, drawing, playing computer games, and making models allow children to practice and improve newly refined skills. A 1000-piece puzzle would be too much for a 6-year-old to complete. A CD player with soothing CDs would not be an age-appropriate activity for a 6-year-old. Throwing a Nerf football around the room may not be appropriate for a hospitalized child with asthma.
