Week #8 Summer Reading 2010

On Tuesday, July 27th the adults held the Remembering Fun & Games Bi-folkal kit. The group really enjoyed this one.

We even did two skits that  came with the kit.

Everyone talked about games from their past. The video was really enjoyable also.

On Wednesday and Thursday the kids make Sea Creatures. They were given shells and various items to decorate with.

The kids used their imaginations with this craft, some of the creatures were really interesting.

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…
