Five weeks, six children, three fantastic volunteers and loads of creativity went on at Spring Craft Club! Biscuit has loved supervising too! Thank you to Wellspring West Sussex for funding the sessions.
In week one we created Spring collages, used coloured papers and improved scissor skills. Next we wrapped string around card eggs and covered these in tin foil.
We used stencils and fabric paints in week two, designing heart shaped purses for Mother’s Day. There was quite a bit of leftover paint so this was used with spring stamps to make beautiful pictures. We finished by starting to colour the foil eggs.
In week 3 we made our Mother’s Day heart cards, decorated with stickers and sequins, we coloured pretty gift bags and threaded bracelets. Everyone took their purses home in the decorated bags!
Week 4 was an Egg-stravaganza! We coloured our foil eggs and painted plastic eggs – they all looked fabulous hanging in the apple tree.
In our final session last Saturday, the eggs were added to with stickers, sequins and googly eyes. The children then blew me away with the most wonderful ideas for their Easter baskets…feathers, pipe cleaners and pompoms were added to all the other available options on the table! We finished by decorating foam bunnies.
I’m sure everyone’s homes will look wonderful over the Easter holidays with the colourful crafts!
