Messy Morning is a Filthy Success!

UCM Workshop on Wheels would like to sincerely thank each group, organization, and business who helped make our Second Annual Messy Morning a huge success. We had 98 children from 58 families in attendance, and this represents a 32% increase over last year's numbers.

A simple solution of corn starch and water was enjoyed by all and provided by UCM National Residence Hall Honorary.

Bikers Against Child Abuse were a huge hit with their motorcycles, tattoos, and whipped cream dive. While kids marveled over the motorcycles, parents learned about child abuse prevention.

One of our events was Clean Mud, provided by Warrensburg Head Start.

One of the favorite activities was a tub of bubble solution and various items the children could use to blow bubbles. We had plastic tennis rackets, tubes, kitchen utensils, and more. This is a cheap and easy activity parents could do at home!

Members of UCM's Theta Chi oversaw an activity where children painted on bubble wrap, then made prints of their creations.

Our staff members' t-shirts were purchased from Missouri Kids First. The back says, "It is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men." ~ Frederick Douglass
