☀️😎 Last week, our CBFRC Plant City kids had a blast getting creative! During our special activity, each child decorated their own pair of sunglasses to take home and wear, helping protect their eyes from the bright sunlight. From colorful designs to unique patterns, every pair was as creative as the child who made it. We loved seeing their imaginations shine while reinforcing the importance of staying safe in the sun. Thanks to everyone who joined us for this fun and educational event! 🌈🕶️
