Ready, Set, Craft: Arts and Crafts with the Children of Altagracia
September 5, 2012 by kshircliff
One of the days the group went to the school and did arts and crafts with the kids. We had several crafts planned and the children were excited about each of them. We helped them bead necklaces and paint a banner for Mission: Possible. We enjoyed helping kids design necklaces for themselves, their friends, and their family members. We provided beads with letters and some of the kids worked hard to find the right letters to write their name. One girl in particular, Rosi, found all the letters to write her name when the necklace broke. Jessica scrambled to help her find the letters again and make a new necklace.

Holly and Kali were in charge of helping kids paint the Mission: Possible banner. We showed the kids how to trace their hands and then design them with various paint. The kids were very excited and all had a lot of fun.
