The Water of Life is a Grimm's Fairy Tale
about 6 Royal Children who go off on their horses in search of the Water of Life to heal their dying father. Most of these Royal Children are selfish & rude, but the youngest is not only kind, but brave.

| The King's bed-and a patchwork quilt, I would have never expected, but really quite eye-catching! |
 |
| Nice detail on a horse by a 9 y/o |
 |
| Our hero on his white steed!- 11 y/o |
 |
Some girls even painted on their skirts- by a 6 y/o
|
In their journeys they meet a dwarf and if they are lucky-or maybe just polite- he'll give them directions to the enchanted castle.
 |
Finishing touches on the castle the Princess pops out of-she obviously likes vines, and a lot of pink...
 |
There, a spell-bound princess guards the Water of Life and other magic gifts...
 |
| Props--including the Princess's expandable telescope |
This group of kids were excellent at helping each other. They had great improvement ideas too; adding handles to the horses, painting a two-sided goblet, having a "Deathbed" sign above the king's bed, and adding blood to the tip of the Sword of Victory (vetoed because, as one 8y/o put it, "This isn't PG13"). They were enthusiastic about everything.
 |
| Our last rehearsal-the Princess's castle kept blowing away in the wind! |
Typical practices were half the time practicing our lines after a quick game, then painting. Some children opted to stay later and do more painting of props...and themselves.
