We want to thank all the parents who have shared about their country with the children. More presentation to come....







Marshmallow shapes

This is a favorite activity each year, making shapes with toothpicks and mini-marshmallow. The mini size are brought from the US, because I have never found them here. Many of children brought it their own shapes and they (or their parents) were very resourceful in finding substitutes.
