Despite the grey and chilly weather, Turtle and Moon was busy on Saturday February 27. Eight children showed up for the afternoon recycling workshop: creating Indian water jugs from milk cartons, plastic cups and papier-mache. Lise had made an example for us all to see and talked us through the construction steps.
First we cut the cartons and stuffed enough newspaper inside to support two plastic glasses. Then we taped the cups securely into the cartons, made handles from twisted pipe-cleaners and tape, and covered the construction with strips of glue-soaked newspaper. This was the first part of a two-part workshop: a fortnight from now, when the glue has had time to dry, the children will be decorating their jugs.
After tea and biscuits, we played outside, explored the garden and experimented with weaving.
