Africa Kids Book Club July Highlights– Kiswahili & Creativity at The Nairobi Art Gallery
Africa Kids book club encourages young children to express themselves through storytelling, think outside the box, see the magic of creative writing, and enjoy creating arts & crafts.
Since this month’s book was in Kiswahili, we discussed and interacted as much as possible in swahili. .
The Nairobi Art Gallery was a perfect venue for our August meeting as the children creatively made origami art pieces with the guidance of their facilitators. The four different age groups showcased their creations as they explained their ideas.
There’s no right or wrong in creativity, just fun and play .

The tour of the Nairobi Art Gallery was a true adventure. The children learnt that distance in Kenya is measured from POINT ZERO which is situated at the gallery. Artefacts, paintings,photos, and jewelry gained their interest. This was the highlight of the day as the children interacted, asked questions, took pictures and had a good laugh.
Snacking and awarding certificates is our personal time to recognize and celebrate our very own. Every child is a winner, but when we stand out, we are awarded and applauded!
Asanteni sana! Reading is cool!
