At the painting circus in City of Bad Neuenahr-Ahrweiler the fun sock monster crafting session with Steffi Raths took place. Natalie Reuscher reports on the eerily beautiful craft day:
"Old socks were 
into weird and wonderful, scary sock monsters. 
Buttons, pipe cleaners, wool, cardboard, felt, beads, foam rubber, yarn and much more were used. These spooky Halloween creations were made with great concentration! 
The children quickly learnt that gluing buttons is not as effective as sewing them on. How to use a needle and thread 
was a challenge for the children, but they mastered it fabulously under Steffi's guidance!

During the break - far away from 
with the children under the guidance of Bianca Ferber Team games were organised. So that the children could return to their crafting with a clear head."
