Week #3 Summer Reading 2010
Well we finished the 3rd full week of summer reading and we are still going strong.
This week we painted pictures, these were pictures with paint on the bottom,so all we needed was some water and q-tips [I love crafts this easy]. And can you believe, even the big kids did this craft [they must have been really bored].
Next was the teens on Thursday, June 24th HENNA TATTOOS, this is one of there favorites! The kids bring in signed permissions slips before they are tattooed, then they pick out a design,copy it to tracing paper, transfer it to the skin, put the henna on and let it dry, tada!! at tattoo that will last [if your lucky] 3 weeks.
Last for the week, since it’s been so hot, we got some plain white fans on sticks and let the kids decorate them. The they could use them to help keep cool.
Up next? Share your collections for the Adults on 6/29, Wind Chimes for the younger kdis on 6/20 and Lighthouses for the teens on 7/1…
