The testing session on the 3rd was a little bit of a learning lesson. Let me just say this: giving Mod Podge to kids under the age of five is stressful and messy unless you dish out the glue beforehand! However, the older kids seemed to enjoy collaging and produced some very pretty pages. We also tried tile-painting again, but the kids were still more interested in drawing on them with markers. Plus, by then I was determined not to give any liquid-based mediums to the kids. Both the collages and tiles were big hits with the kids. I've attached photos, per usual. :)
On the 7th, there were fewer kids at the shelter and the shift was a lot shorter, so I did quicker and easier activities. I taught the kids how to make pom-poms and brought out a little finger-paint-like stamp set from SCRAP. The kids loved their pom-poms very much - some of the girls even attached the pom-poms to their hair! And of course, like most other kids, the finger-printing set was very popular. More pictures attached!
The shelter is currently closed for its annual renovation, and I will not be able to volunteer much during the school year. I will come back during breaks and update this blog with pretty pictures, but until then, it looks like I may just be posting text - no photos unless I get them from other volunteers.
On a happier note, when I come back during winter break, you can expect many, many photos from my volunteer sessions and the holiday party the shelter throws every year! It's an awesome program they have set up for Christmas, and I am so excited to update you all when the time comes. Until then, I hope these photos will suffice!
