Butterflies fly with us

Every time the last activity in the session it is a very special one for many reasons. The same was this one. First it was not too cold for have a lot of fun playing outside, so Eco Kids played in the winter sunny day - both groups. 

When we came to the classroom, they were looking forward to get some warm and... sweet, so I served warm chocolate waffels, but also fruits, vegies and water. 

After eating we watched some interesting lasting some minutes stories and songs:

• story "Sid The Seed" - story about the seed, which during the growing observes the animals growing and understands it comes the moment everyone grows.
• story "A Ladybug Goes For A Walk" - about being small and... happy.      
• Polish song "O lesie" by Kasia Nosowska, great Polish singer - which promote the nature and shows many different animals living in the Polish forests.
• American song "3R" - reduse, reuse and recycle
• song by the group The Stomp "Kitchen", in which musicians play on the kichen tools

The art & craft project we did were Valentine's ones: hearts on the hanger and for girls, butterfly. On the hungers (if you have the ones from laundry at home, do not throw them away, but bring them! It is great for many projects!) Eco Kids put red and/or pink hearts with the names of the people they love. Then they decorated them. They went out just beautiful! 

While the boys went again outside to play, Eco Girls were making the butterflies from the toilet tubes. They shaped the wings themselves and each butterfly looked differently and pretty. Then they played with them of course.

This was a great day and Eco Kids and me we enjoyed it a lot. Thanks to all of you who already have confirmed your Eco Kid attendance in the next session - the whole March, we have 5 Saturdays in March. There will be many the Easter one! And before - short winter break short session 25th & 26th which is almost fully booked now.

Hearts to share

Valentine's Day is soon. Great day to share great feelings. Eco Kids started today their preparation to it. So it was pinky and red in our class today! First group from 12 to 2 pm started with the sweet, big candies from the toilet tubes. They put inside the real candies and then cover it with pink, red and white paper. Then Eco Kids decorate it how they had the invention to do it, with the ribbon, small hearts, etc. Looked beautiful! 

Then they painted the wooden hearts. One project was the puzzle from two hearts and the second heart on the wooden square. Both came out colorful and original. 

Eco Kids can give them to the persons who are close to them. Some of the kid went outside, playing on the snow, but some did not want to freeze. Anyway we all ate the warm waffles. Yummy!

The first and the second group were learning today about recycling from the book "Follow That Trash. All about Recycling" by Francine Jacobs. My son, Stas read it to the kids. For Eco Kids it appeared interesting what is going on with the trash you throw away...   

   

In the second group we welcomed a new Eco Girl! She and some other Eco Kids made their own hand prints on the furniture in the class as Eco kids members. They were white as clouds, green as grass and blue as water - eco colors. 

The second group from 3 to 5 pm were doing some different project, because there were the kids who wanted to make the project which Eco Kids made when they did not still join Eco Kids workshop or they were away. So some made footprint snowmen, reindeer, rocket, turtle, etc. There was one new girl, who made a horse. It is a great feeling when you can make wishes come true. This was it! Also they made the same wooden hearts as the first group.  

There was a disco when it started to be dark, too in the end of the second session. Eco Kids had fun! 


It was a great workshop, thanks to all amazing little artists, Eco Kids!
