While preschool kids in levels 1 and 2 in the care of the Pattaya Orphanage are still in quarantine for another week to ensure everyone’s full recovery from the city-wide hand-foot-mouth infections, Teacher Tiew’s team constantly promotes the children’s development through art sessions both within the kindergarten building and outdoor. Through imaginative drawing with colorful chalks, clay molding, and paper cutting, children enjoyed taking part while upgrading their fine motor skills, concentration, hand-eye coordination and better memorizing the Arabic numbers.
