Arts n Crafts @Goshen Village II

The past few months have been incredibly eventful here at Goshen Village II. The participants completed a variety of Arts n Crafts activities that included flutes, scarecrows, and pumpkins. They also painted some pictures of their favorite ice cream, and trees. Not to mention we did some baking and produced some delicious chocolate chip cookies through a team building activity in collaboration with the Girl Scouts. We are excited to see what 2020 brings for us here and can't wait to post about it. Enjoy your day everyone!  

Holiday Activities @Villa del Rey

Every year we celebrate holidays here at Villa del Rey with our participants. This year we made decorations for holiday party and there was a few Christmas trees that the children made within the last 15 days for Christmas to open a day at a time and get a treat inside. The results for the decorations came out very well and the participants even made some dogs with holiday clothes on them. It is safe to say that everyone had a great time.

Xmas Activities @Parksdale Village II

Ho ho ho everyone! What better way to make someone feel special and smile during the holidays than to give them a beautifully decorated pine cone? Our thoughts exactly. Here at Parksdale Village II, we decorated some pine cones with a variety of colors and the participants had a jolly ole time. We hope everyone enjoys the rest of their holidays. Til next year! 

Turkey Day Thanks @Lincoln Plaza

The students at Lincoln Plaza had lots of fun this past November. We created hand art with things to be thankful for. In addition to that, we wrote some stories about Fall season and Thanksgiving. Lastly, we made it an emphasis to learn and grow our knowledge concerning our peer's traditions according to their cultures and families for the holidays.   

November Activities @Biola Village

It is starting to look a lot like Christmas! Here at Biola Village November was a blast. We enjoyed many fall projects which included painting paper leaves to wooden ones. We also worked on getting along with friends. The participants also did a Thanksgiving activity and we shared what were thankful for. Most at Biola Village agreed to being thankful for family and friends! We ended the month with a movie and a turkey contest, there were many outstanding turkeys to choose from, but we could only pick 3 winners. We are super happy to start this month and the projects that await!

Sunset @Lincoln Plaza

      October was a month filled with fun activities. We created beautiful flowers and spooky spiders out of paper plates. The cooler weather allowed us to do outside activities like sidewalk chalk art and painting under the trees. As the days got shorter we had an idea to paint the sunset. We called our paintings "A sunset at Lincoln Plaza". Here are a few pictures.

            

   

Fall Activities @Biola Village

      For this year's first fall activity at Biola Village, the residents wanted to to do some painting. They decided to make some butterflies, lanterns, and masks. Their creations came out really well, and their efforts paid off too. Thank you for coming out here to join us for this activity. Have a wonderful day everyone!

Halloween Activities @VillaDelRey

This month at Villa del Rey, we decided to celebrate Halloween with some arts and crafts. The participants had lots of fun and created some spooky pumpkins. Others decided to color in some of their favorite pictures. We also came to a general consensus that one of the best things about Halloween is the candy. We hope everyone has a safe Halloween! 

Nature Art Activities @Lincoln Plaza

The students at Lincoln Plaza have been keeping busy creating beautiful fall nature art. Nature art is art using natural materials found outside like leaves, petals and grass. We turned sticks into fairies and created beautiful portraits of ourselves. The highlight of our art activity included our crowns we adorned with leaves, plants, flowers and feathers too. We are very excited to see what more art we can create now that it is fall.

Recently @Villa del Rey, we decided to create some decorations and stuffed creatures. Our participants made some butterflies, lanterns, and stuffed dogs. They had lots of fun and the results were really spectacular. The participants had a great time and used some teamwork to help one another complete their projects. See you next time, and have a good day everyone! 

Starting Strong and Arts 'n' Crafts @Biola Village
