Arts and Crafts

This week in Arts and Crafts we began making fairy gardens. Because the children have been reading the book the secret garden it was good to allow them to make their own secret gardens. This included decorating and coloring water bottles that were cut to look like little homes. The children were able to explore their own creative side and it allowed them to imagine what the secret garden looked like. During this lesson the pillar of responsibility was discussed. It was essentially explaining how even if fairies are mythical creatures, they still require care. The mentors asked how the children could care for the fairies and what they would need. They related the fairies to a common household pet.
