Who: Maria and Fable
Where: Little Miracles
When: Early Afternoon
What: Playtime and Fingerpaints
Surrounded by small children, each with their own heavy sheets of paper, Maria sat cross-legged in the middle of one of Little Miracle's rooms, the one they called the Activity Room. Dressed in a washable tunic top, in dark purple, and a pair of jeans, the Were Lionness was humming 'Blowing in the Wind' while Caleb sat in her lap and and worked on his own piece.
Animals, trees, their families, circles; each of the dozen children in the room had their own designs in multiple colors, their fingers dipped in paint. More than a few had paint on their canvas aprons, the protective clothing keeping their play clothes from becoming spattered with the thick paint in bright colors. It was one of the favorite activities of Maria's, in sharing her love of art, even at its most basic and elementary level. Their creativity kept her entertained, as one of the boys drew aliens on a trampoline, and a girl beside him painted her puppy with her fingertips.
