A Gift for the Parents

 

The kids at Village Oaks participated in a really neat arts and crafts activity: a purse for someone special in their life.  Most of the kids decided to make something for their mom or grandmother.

Over the last few months, Jayda, the Director of the Community Center, has been teaching the kids how to knit.  You might have seen the videos in some of the older posts.  The kids used their knitting skills to knit a strap for the purse.

Then, Jayda helped the kids pick out two pieces of fabric that they then knitted together.

Last, the took some key rings to attach the strap to the purse.

The kids were so excited to deliver the gifts to their moms and grandmothers.  Below are some pictures of a few of the kids who participated and a picture of the gift-wrapped purses.
