Cloudy skies and the occasional drizzle didn't deter hundreds of kids and families from checking out Kids' Day at Lake Oswego's Festival of the Arts last Friday. The day included a whirlwind of face-painting, games, music, bingo, crafts and more! Just enough entertainment to engage childrens' short attention span for hours. Kids, ranging in age from Preschool to Jr. High, ran around the park soaking up as much fun as they could possibly take in. And luckily for Trash for Peace, kids LOVED our activities! We had a steady stream of children eager to get their hands on our games! So much that it was difficult to stop and take photos but we managed snap a few.
Children stepped right up to get their hands messy and paint egg-carton flowers or toilet paper roll owls and creatures.
Older kids thought our recycling bins made out of recycled materials were so cool and excited to learn how to build one! And helped finish TWO bins in the first hour!
And can't forget our cornhole set for any kid to test out their tossing skills with homemade, bottle cap-filled bags.
Not only did kids like our activities, but the TfP team shared some great conversations with parents and community members discussing TfP's mission of spreading awareness of reducing our global waste. It truly was a heart-warming day for Trash for Peace.
