It’s Not Your Usual Mani/Pedi!

 It’s not your usual mani/pedi! It’s a hand and feet painting class at Sophie’s Creche. Children spend a day “at the spa” having fun getting their hands and feet painted. And, while they are waiting for their paintings to be dried, cut and displayed, they also learn about children who are not doing so well...

Sophie calls this painting class the “Gift of Life” because she teaches kids to appreciate what they have. The toddlers are shown pictures of kids from all walks of life. And, they see kids who can’t do what they do. They are taught to appreciate they can walk, see, hear,  talk, and  run, when they want. They realize not all kids, have the same abilities.

Kids are encouraged to accept children and especially those who are “different" with love and compassion, no matter what their circumstances may be.

And, yes, even though they are pre-schoolers, they understand why the hands and feet paintings are a reminder of how lucky they are.
