get to play with each other.” She explained by saying, “This program starts with songs, stories, and rhymes. Then children go to different centers where there are different activities which help children develop their fine and gross motor skills, literacy and numeracy skills. There are also craft activities for the kids to do and there are educational toys at all of the centers. Then the families get back on the carpet to hear another story and sing more songs. After this, the kids go back to swim in the pool and we do songs and rhymes in the pool as well. Swimming is great exercise where children work their entire bodies when they engage in water play.”

Children were able to express themselves freely through participating in crafts at the Messy Art program at Kalyna Family Resource Network-Vegreville (KFRN-V) on January 2. Litania Sankey, Spoke Program Facilitator for KFRN-V, said since Valentine’s Day is coming up, they had a Valentine’s Day theme. “The children made Valentine’s Day wreaths which had a bunch of different Valentine’s Day crafts on it. They put lady bugs, hearts, flowers and other things on a paper plate. Also, I read the children a story relating to Valentine’s Day. The Messy Art program gives children a chance to express creativity while giving them an opportunity to get their hands messy and play with art instead of having a structured activity. We know that children learn through play. So, this gave children an opportunity to learn through creating a craft,” Sankey explained.
