Every week we organise a creative activity for the children to do. They can vary a lot from painting a Bible verse across a giant banner, making mobiles to hang from the ceiling, window art, glass painting the list goes on and on!
The children are free to take part (or not) when they wish as the activity runs for the whole week, that way if children are away for a few days they don't miss out.
Some children love doing the different activities whereas some we have to encourage to take part and normally the promise of receiving a 'smiley face' will do the trick (the child with the most smiley faces at the end of the week gets a prize!)
 Here is a photo of 2 of the craft we've recently done – 'Window art' and 'Pouring Glasses' This week we actually have 2 activities planned. The first being to make a 'Snow Globe'. A must seeing we've had a LOT of snow over the past week or so and the second is a 'Giant Wall Lord's Prayer' where the children can choose any word for the prayer and paint it (and illustrate if they want) onto a piece of coloured A4 paper and then we will put them onto the large wall in the main room. We're sure it's going to look very bright and eye catching! We'll post a picture when it's done!
