Imagine a small plastic table with seven 3 yr olds, all with crayons and paper. One gets the bright idea, every time, to stab the table with the crayon. The others join in chorus. They need to work on their drumming skills. :) But that was better than when the crayon throwing got out of hand.
A different week they brought out paint jars and we did hand prints as a craft project. There was more paint on the clothes than on the paper.
I am still trying to block out what happened when the glue came out.
Things I love about my 3 yr old friends:
They dance with such abandon.
They can be sweet and like a little sister or brother sometimes when they grab your leg and won't let go.
They have an unlimited supply of ideas on how to use a toy in a completely unintended fashion.
I feel honored to have the chance to take care of all my little friends in the Garden Patch room every few weeks. They are teaching me so much.
Great blog - I really liked your stories about craft time.
