Chalk Hands

I mentioned that I was at a camp for families and youths last week.

I volunteered to lead a two-hour, arts and crafts session in the children’s programme. I had 10 children aged between 3 – 10 years old. It was so much fun!

First we made jigsaw puzzles. Then did some colouring in.

Then we went outside into the car park, found a large blank concrete wall and drew chalk body outlines of everyone. We decorated them with smiles and hand prints. It looked cool! It had the feel of child-like graffiti. And the kids had a great time.

Unfortunately by the late afternoon, it started to rain. So our wall was mural washed away before I had a chance to take pictures.
