Yesterday I delivered toys made by our students to the local food bank to be given to kids. Two men were cooking the community meal when I arrived and they were excited to see what our students had done. They treated my arrival like I was a celebrity of some sort. Our students were proud of their work and I felt proud of what they had pitched in and done.
When children have the opportunity to do real things in benefit to their community, they grow in character as well as in intellect.
This year's toy making was a bit different from last year in that we made very tiny cars and trucks using wheels cut from dowels. The tiny vehicles are fun. and can ride in a shirt pocket.
Make, fix and create...
