At Extended Day, we prioritize the creation of all sorts of crafts!

A “coloring/craft” table is set up each day, where the kids are free to make whatever they like!

In preparing for the art show, all the kids had many opportunities to create different crafts like a bird, frog, dragonfly, as well as little flower pots, and much, much more. While the kids loved saving these crafts for the art show, many were dying to take them home!

There were plenty of crafts set out for the kids, however, many of them made a ton of their own!

This was the first art show ever held for Extended Day.  And it will definitely be something we will look into having each year!

The kids had a blast when it came to preparing for the show, but the show itself was an even bigger hit! Many families came in and out and walked around the cafeteria, admiring the tape art on the walls, the animal crafts hanging all around, and the dream catchers hanging from the ceiling. 

Many kids are here open to close in the morning and afternoon and spend most of their out-of-school days with us. This was an excellent opportunity for families to interact and get a look into what the kids are doing each day.  It was also nice as a staff member to talk to the parents and hear more about all the kids and discuss all the fun things they get to do here at Extended Day! Im sure the kids loved having their family get to see all the amazing things they’ve been working on.

Now that the art show is over, we have looked into having more events inviting families and kids to do fun activities together!
