Taking a woolly activity for the children to do seemed the most obvious thing. It’s such a success at Camp Bestival for all ages so last night was our first pompom making workshop and it continued this morning.
Spreading the woolly love.
A massive success! The children, boys and girls, the whole age range adored this activity. Many MANY repeat makers, it was really engaging. It’s a fantastically mindful activity which for these kids is perfect. So now they all know how to do it, they can have a good experiment with size and colour. We’ve also brought boggly eyes and colourful pipe cleaners. What’s not to love?!
We’d already decided we’d send each child home with a crafting kit. So they get this starter pack and are going to choose a couple of balls of yarn to go with it. There are scissors too. We predict a craze! A huge thank you everyone who donates funds which makes this happen. These children really have very little at home. And they are thrilled to be able to carry on at home and teach their families.
These are their starter kits!
