This past week was my third week at Girls Inc. The week flew by so fast since we were doing so many things. Monday and Tuesday I helped the girls make tiaras out of recycled cardboard. We decorated them using markers, glitter, beads, feathers, and anything else we could find. The girls got really into it and ended up making some really fantastic tiaras. These tiaras were for the tea party that we were going to have on Friday. The girls were super excited all week. Wednesday and Thursday we made fancy gloves out of old tights or panty hose. Since the theme of this summer is Girls Inc. Goes Green we try to make sure we are recycling and reusing with all of our arts and crafts projects.
Friday was the day of the big tea party. The girls all came dressed in their princess dresses wearing their tiaras and gloves that they had made. They were all soooo cute! We made cucumber sandwiches and tea and gave the girls a chance to practice their etiquette skills that Ms. Marcia had been teaching them all summer. All in all the tea party was a success. I'm not sure what we have coming up this week but I'm sure no matter what it is the girls will make it fun. Talk to you guys in a week!
Making party dresses out of recycled materials is a great idea too!
