Decorations for children's celebration

Our Vecmamma (grandmother) is the head of the organization "Save the Children" branch in her village. This year, just before the starting of the school year, she decided to make a celebration for the village children. We helped her to prepare for the celebration by making some beautiful flower decorations for the lawn.

First, our mamma made the shapes of flowers on a huge floor hardboard. Then, uncle Ralfs cut the flowers out with a special machine. Uzair helped him in attaching the cut out shapes of flowers and leaves to the poles, which formed the stem of the plant. As Uzair and Hafsa held up the flower, they realized that it's taller than them! :)

Then, the flowers got paitnted and started looking more like the real flowers. On the day of the children's celebration, Vecmamma arranged the flowers nicely in the lawn, so all the children and their parents, who came for the celebration, could feel special on this day.

  1. Your family in Latvia is very resourceful, masha'Allah, in that they do so much physical work with machines etc. Excellent "project" work for Uzair and Hafsa!
