Mundo Lindo ~ Beautiful World. Where kids discover the joy and power of creativity… This blog chronicles a free after-school program for 4th & 5th grade kids in Escondido, California.
Eight kids in Tuesday's class. Last week they made papier mache animals and this week, they painted them using acyrlic paint. I told them they could paint the animal either realistically or from their imaginations. I'm pretty sure she's painting a bee, though it could be a butterfly.
After they created their papier mache animals, and painted them with acrylics, then they did a painting of their animal, and wrote a story about it around the painting.
Everyone, including me, is working hard. Notice, I'm wearing a t-shirt from the Mundo Lindo Merchandise Line. :-)
Eight kids in class today, the first day of Session Three. We made papier mache with heavy duty aluminum as the armature, then covered it in liquid starch soaked newspaper. He made a squirrel
Sarah and I and some of the kids at today's reception for session two of Mundo Lindo. About a dozen kids and their families came.
I love this photo! Look at the kids on the right, they're the ones doing the puppet show at the reception today. Of course, they're using the super hero puppets they made.
A reporter and photographer came today to interview me and the kids about Mundo Lindo. Watch for us in Saturday, 9/29 in Today's Local News, published by the Union Tribune.
Thursday's class of 8. When they found out they were going to be in the newspaper, first question was "Are we going to be famous?" Second questions was "Can we have limos?"
