"Cuidar las plantas"

Today we made good on our plans as mentioned yesterday and painted signs with the kids in Eco Club.

Sometimes I get nervous doing craft activities with large groups of kids. Art materials, like Spiderman's powers, should be used responsibly. But we're talking about kids here, not Peter Parker, and things can go downhill pretty fast (don't even get me started on the hugely bad idea of using glitter with a bunch of 7-year-olds).

But today, glory hallelujah! The kids were into the sign-painting and stayed relatively on task. This might have had something to do with the fact that we split them up into smaller groups to paint.

Here, my group does a quick explanation of the activity:



We painted the signs in an effort to discourage people from throwing trash on the ground, and to encourage them to cuidar las plantas, help take care of the plants.

And while some of the paint ended up elsewhere...

...most of it ended up where it was supposed to.
