Backdrop and Props

We've started creating the backdrop for our show. I am hoping that we will be able to work on it more this week, with some parent help. We are painting a large handprint rainbow. We have been practicing our show every day. The songs are sounding good, the dancing is sweet, and our acting is coming along. The children do find it hard to keep doing the same thing each time, as their natural inclination is to use their imagination and creativity to change what they are pretending. And of course, with regular playtime that's exactly what we want to see. But not in a play for an audience, unless it is improv...maybe that's what we need to do next! Now I'm just rambling...time for a break. :)
