Our February 9 session of our Treasure Trunk Program at Brenda's House focused on "Kids in the Arts" (KARTS) and "Kids in Motion & Music" (KIMM). The session started with our Theme Song and opening of a small treasure trunk to discover clues about what the activities would be. The children were soon singing, doing yoga, talking about art and making their own door hangers. Several mothers and a dad with young babies were engaged in our "Babies in the Story" (BITS) program with JLC volunteers reading stories, singing songs, and getting the parents/mothers to share their favourite songs as well. Each baby’s family was given a hand puppet book as a gift and each child was given a bag or arts and crafts supplies. Thus we introduced ideas, role modeled, engaged the children/moms/dad/babies and left them tools with which to carry on with their own growth and development.

We had a great time and I look forward to volunteering there again very soon!
