Arts and Crafts

  I have started a new volunteer schedule at Little Ahope, and one thing we are doing lots of is Arts and Crafts!  I am not very experienced in this area (it's been a loooong time since I was 5), but thankfully I am working with a school social worker, plus we have an arts and crafts book.

  On Friday, I came up with the idea of making paper crowns.  We had so much fun!  I cut the crowns out of construction paper ahead of time and then we let the kids color whatever they wanted on them.  They all loved it and looked super cute!  We took some great pictures that I can't wait to show you at home :).

  One song that the kids love to sing here is the itsy bitsy spider.  They can sing it in both English and Amharic (the Amharic version has a different tune).  Tiffany came up with the great idea of making spiders out of construction paper (we have A LOT of this here).  This was another project that the kids loved! 

  We already have a few ideas planned for the next couple of weeks that will hopefully turn out great!
