The painting circus was visited by fairies and trolls. 
Steffi Raths and Sarah Uessem welcomed the children to the circus wagon to make magical little lamps from paper cups and fairy lights.
The children had the choice of creating either a fairy light or a troll light.
Step by step, Steffi and Sarah guided us through the creative process and gave valuable tips and tricks to make the magical little light shine. 
You She explains: "Many small steps were necessary to create the finished lamp: Choosing and colouring the motif, cutting a window into the cup and punching holes in it, making the leaves and flowers, attaching the handle and, of course, decorating it.
These tasks demanded a lot from the children, but they mastered everything with flying colours!
The pride and joy at the beautiful light was all the greater!" 
In addition to the fun and creative activity, patience and self-efficacy could also be trained. Through the tricky and consecutive work steps, the children learn that they can create something wonderful all by themselves with a little concentration, a little hard work and a lot of joy.
The joint creative process also strengthened the sense of community among the children - a valuable opportunity to promote the children's artistic and social skills in equal measure.
The self-designed lamps not only brought light, but also a bit of magic into the children's everyday lives.
Everyone was incredibly proud of their creations! A wonderful experience that made the children shine and will be remembered for a long time! 
Thank you very much, dear Sarah and Steffi.
