I brought along some rag dolls from my collection to illustrate the different traditional clothes from three of the continents we had spoken of, which the girls really enjoyed.
As some of the children, whose artistic works were fairly meticulous, continued to work on them during the daily half an hour dedicated to fine motor development, two of the boys tried to assemble two fairly big puzzles with the various continents on them, so as to further help them locate the countries which had so often been mentioned throughout the week.

Some of the artistic scratch works were finally finished and the girls were mesmerised by their final effect, which led them to want to frame them afterwards. The paper puppet dolls from India and the 3D animals were equally beautiful to look at and what seemed difficult at the beginning, taking into account the fact that most children are used to computer games and not necessarily this type of materials to build things with, was now being marvelled by the children, who kept on asking to do more than one artistic work during the course.
Children like Patricia, Oliver, Beatriz, Carolina, and Clara initiated their second artistic works, this time using glitter, metal sheets, coloured brush pens, scissors, sand and thread in a series of different techniques, though I was worried they wouldn't be able to finish them in time for the exhibition considering the limited amount of time they were done in.
A few were able to finish them and I must confess I was happy with the final results.
