We're slowly decorating our small apartment, mostly with the children's artwork. Their work comes out so bright and happy, it seems appropriate to surround ourselves with it. It also makes them feel valued.
These are some clay pots we recently decorated. This time we painted them, varnished them and stuck different "pretty things" we found in Navadwip on them. We've done a similar activity for playgroup. When the pot was completed we filled it up with fruits and offered them as gifts.
This was the first time I observed Miss. S thoughtfully and with good control glue and stick :).
This if fun and easy. Plaster of Paris hand prints! Google it up for instructions, there are plenty of ideas out there. Every now and then we place the children's hands on them again to see if they have grown. This is a great opportunity to talk about the changes that occur with the body and discuss the differences between the body and soul.
This is my favourite! Mr. R and I made this together when he was two. It's just an old piece of wood we found then painted and glued some ribbon to. Originally it was a backdrop for our altar, but with time and a few hooks it has become a place to hang our keys.
