It was booked up very quickly.......there's 20 odd children with their parents....and we have a waiting list.
We give the kids lots of inspiration......and support where needed.....but encourage them to 'do their own thing' and develop their own creativity........most do not need asking twice......and can't wait to get started each week.
This week our 'focus' was christmas cards......and these are some that they produced.
I just love children enjoying being messily creative........and interestingly.......their parents..... who are supposed to be working with them.......are just as likely to be totally engrossed in creating their own masterpieces!!
And some children.......decided against christmas cards altogether.......what a stunning piece of jewelry designed and made completely independantly by an 8 year old.

Wow! This is where all crafters start isn't it. What fantastic work! Lx
Oh how I wish my boy wasn't so fussy about textures then we too could have lots of crafty messy sessions !! Oh well :) Great pics of some lovely creations Jacky :))
And I'm sure there will be some proud parents on the receiving end of these projects too. I remember gettign pretty messy at those sort of sessions in the run up to Christmas myself.

O wow such creativity and they sure seemed to have had heaps of fun :)
Great job! My class enrollment has been miserable recently. May take a break for a couple of months.

Gosh, they have done a great job! Sounds like a fun class to take Jacky :-)
What fun--for you and the class! They created some wonderful projects. I'd love to join you for this class.
What lovely cards and jewellery x
I love the self-confidence of children and their creativity. They dare to do things we would think twice about. Thanks for sharing the work with us.
I love that you are doing this, Jacky. It's so fun to witness the unleashing of creativity. I'm glad you shared the photos too - love the penguins and that cute felt snowman. Have fun!!! xo
Oh, wow! I love the idea of a class with kids and parents in it. How clever is that? Especially at Christmas time, it sounds lovely.
What fab pieces of work they have created, I wish there had been after school crafting when I was that age :)
Those children (and their parents!) are so lucky to have you Jacky, those cards and the other creations are wonderful. What a sense of achievement they must feel - and you too!
What fun! And some wonderfully creative cards too.
Lovely creations Jacky and I can imagine how much the parents get engrossed too- I would!
Wow, these are all wonderful creations! Fantastic work.. you must be a really inspiring teacher for them! :)
Jacky
