Getting Crafty

I’m not a natural crafty person and I’m put to shame by my amazingly talented and crafty little sister.  She’s a qualified Play Therapist and Montesorri teacher and a Teaching degree to her name as well.  She now owns and runs a nursery school in Binyamina, Israel.  Any child would be lucky to be in this little school.  She is my inspiration!

So I’ve been trying to get more crafty with the kids.  Here are some photos of a recent project.  We invited Michelle and her 4 kids to join us, so we had a wonderfully full house.  Full of sticky fingers :-)   We couldn’t complete the project in one day, so they came back for a second session and took their almost completed bowls to paint at home.
