The children (even as young as three years old!) roll clumps of wool in warm water with detergent and eventually get a ball made (sort of like what happens when you've washed your favorite wool sweater in hot water.... It turns to felt!) The children got their choice of making a necklace or a hair accessory.
There was a small tea room where "homecoming" mothers and kids could relax and chat.
There were noodle booths and used children's clothing booths and a used bookstore booth.
And of course, there was the raffle booth!
The mothers made a pretty Nine Patch quilt and also a lovely Irish Chain quilt. They really put a lot of work into the Irish Chain quilting (and I heard that most of the mothers had never done patchwork before!)
