The students in Luisa Fadista's kindergarten class decided to make creches for Christmas using recycled materials. They constructed puppets out of old newspapers, empty packaging, paint, pencils, wool, straw, and used card. The children helped shape the wood pulp from yogurt containers using the sun's energy. Wool was used to make beards and hair for the puppets. The students then painted faces on the puppets of Mary, Joseph, the baby Jesus, kings, shepherds, and an angel. Marta contributed straw for the creche. The kindergarteners' finished creches were exhibited for the whole community to see.
