Just Bee-cuzzzz

An awesome opportunity that has crossed my path as of late, is to teach/be a leader of a club at a nearby elementary.

An elementary school where most kids don't have the means to join an outside sports team, dance classes, or other activities. So the school hosts what they call 4-H clubs to give these kids the chance to learn different skills and have some fun things to do after school. 

I jumped on it, cause I did make a resolution to keep kickin' my bum out of my comfort zone.

I decided to name it: "Crafting Just Bee-cuzzz"

Uber corny, right? 

Hey, the 1st-3rd grade kids thought it was cute! That's all that really matters!

We get to make crafts, play games, get to know each other, and I get to be a cool adult in their life for a few short months.

I was kinda nervous because this was my first day, and so I asked Ryan to come.

He is so good to me :)

We made bees out of paper plates, paint, paper, and wax paper. 

There was a little strip of paper on the back of the bee where you could slip your hand in and fly it around.

Total cuteness!

Anywhoodle, I was just really excited to share this because I had SUCH a fun time! 

We painted, and talked, helped each other making the bees.

Played duck duck goose, freeze tag, and head/shoulders/knees&toes.

I got to see Ryan around a bunch of lil' ones. It was just swell!

I get to do this once a week for a few months, so be expecting more crafting posts for little kids!
