August Arts and Crafts Workshop

I used to teach pre-school and I'd say that it was one of the most enjoyable experiences of my life. Since I have, and will always, love the idea of creating I incorporated arts and crafts in every subject; whether it's science, math or english. I handled a class of 4-5 year olds who had so much energy and curiosity, which I channeled to creative activities. Being with children reacquaints my adult self with the child inside me. Participating in art projects can be a form of self reflection; a way for a person to pause and be in the moment.  Even as an adult, I recommend that you still participate in arts and crafts activities. Here are some interesting Arts and Crafts Activities organized by  CRAFT MNL, TWEED AND TWINE  and SOUL FLOWER this August.

"Prepping something special for my students this weekend. Praying for sunny days ahead; because by the sea is where I want to be. It's a different kind of classroom (and adventure) this time around."- Nikki Ocean
