PAPER MASK

After Arpillera Workshop in the morning, on Sunday, 20 April 2014, the children came to KAIL House for joining children program. The event was expected to start at 2 pm, but the children had already came to KAIL House since 1 pm.  Around 20 children joined the session. The event was started with watching educational cartoon movie, followed by singing "Halo-halo Bandung" together. Then they made a paper mask.

The materials needed to create a mask that cardboard, scissors, glue, colored pencils, glitter, and straws. Once the cardboard is formed into a mask and punched in the eyes, then it's time to decorate the mask according the creativity of each child. All children were happy and enthusiastic in coloring, gluing, sticking their mask​. Bigger children helped smaller children. In this activity, they also learned how to take turn, waiting, and to share with others.

Another rules in KAIL Children Program is that children are not allowed to buy unhealthy snacks in order to maintain health and reduce waste from packaging. Instead, in every event, KAIL provided healthy food with various homemade donuts made by local residents.

Before leaving, the children were asked to me a group picture with their mask creations.
See you next month!
