Snowman without snow...

Well it doesn't mean we have no snow we can't make a snowman. Yes, we can! So we did. It was a small snowman from the wood and it was interesting to connect all of its part together first: brum, "body", star and hat. Me and the assistant, Olivia, helped the smallest kids to do it. It looked so cute even without painting! Then Eco Kids painted the snowmen. They came out so cool! I made some photos during the work. 
The other project were flowers from the plastic bottles. We used the material we never used before to decorate it, felt. Of course it was also eco, because felt was from the box with the wood I got from the mountains. Kids can tell you more about it, I am sure. 
I liked the flowers a lot!
It was a bit cold outside, but we still played and then I took Eco kids for hot chocolate and something small, but sweet. It was warm and cozy.
I am happy to welcome some new Eco Kids in this session!





















Can't wait till the next Saturday!

My little pony


We just have started a special session, when we will make many arts & crafts for winter and Christmas, but this Saturday we made beautiful ponies from the wood. It was a lot of work: painting each side of the pony, putting the pieces together and decorating the ponies. Kids liked this project and made it very carefully. Parents were amazed with the ponies! Some did not really believed their kids made them, but they did!
I was happy to have a new assistant this Saturday. Her name is Olivia and she is from High School. Especially all little and older Eco Girls liked her a lot. She was helping with the project and playing with the kids. I think she will stay with us longerJ
For the next week I prepared two interesting projects. One we will make from the bottle and the second from wood… I can’t wait to start doing it!
