The beautiful warm weather outside has given the kids plenty of opportunities to play in the parks and fields to get their daily dose of exercise and vitamin D. Even when the sun is shining bright, we still need our down time to cool down and have a little indoor play with plenty of crafts and activities to keep busy!

 

Through all the iron art, rainbow looms and bracelet making, my favorite activities was our classical painting activity. Some of our amazing artists had the creative freedom to decorate and paint a canvas however they liked using beads, feathers, pipe cleaners, pompoms, tissue paper & paint. Their creations were one of a kind! Some of them made their canvas for friends of family to give to them as gifts which was super thoughtful! It was a peaceful afternoon listening to classical music while hard at work with their canvases.

 

Another thoughtful activity ran by Jason last week was making rainbow looms for other people. The kids could make anything they would like to make knowing that they were going to make it for someone else. Everyone enjoyed making gifts for each other and receiving them too. There is definitely kindness all around at JR OSC!
