The teachers in the triplets class had to leave for a family emergency a several weeks ago. Daily we pray for her,and her family at home and in their class.Through out the days without her they have created cards and notes and such. I got to organize and lead them through one such project.
Each child traced their hands they pray with, colored them up and cut them out. They assembled them with q-tips dipped in color for stamens and pipe cleaners wrapped around heavy gauge floral wire for support of the stems. I just hate when something flops on the pipe cleaners...Some added a leaf or two near the top so it didn't disappear into the vase.
Filling the vase with crinkle paper to give the stems a lift. adding a little curl to the fingers for form I think they turned out quite nice.
We hope each time Mrs. R takes a look at them she is reminded of all the prayers and well wishes being sent her way!
