Trying to come up with entertaining activities for children

The experience with the children is being very rewarding. Although they lack basic discipline and sometimes are hyperactive, they are very cute and love to hug us. We are mostly working on afternoons and have made some fun activities with the kids.

We made playdough (plastilina) out of flour, water and salt and used pieces of wood and coloured paper to built barriletes (kites) which last wednesday were inaugurated on our excursion with the children to the nearby hill. The children only leave the shelter about once a month and are very happy to be able to run around a field with the kites.

They also love to dance which is why we organized a dancing competition which left them sweating and smiling. This week we are planning to build snow flakes using paper and scissors, and then use them to make "Guirnaldas"....
