Children’s Respite Creates Mother’s Day Crafts

Three photos of children working on crafting cards that have teacups on the cover.

The children in The Arc of Essex County’s Saturday Respite program enjoyed a special visit to Studio Arc to make Mother’s Day crafts together in early May. The group used mixed media to make cards that looked like teacups, each of which held a tea bag gift for mom.

The Children’s Saturday Respite Program is a community-based program for children ages 5 to 21. The program participates in both community-based and in-center activities including visits to parks, festivals, cooking, arts and crafts, and more. The in-center location is based out of Maplewood.
