These were some of the games that Eco Creando worked out last week with children from Aprojusan, mixed with a small art workshop where they learned how to turn plastic bottles into small jewelry boxes. In a world where everything is based on computer games and kids are less and less into physical activities, I believe this is an important link to being a healthy kid and future balanced adult. This is the kind of small stuff that happens every day here … Continue reading
