Salt dough to take home

After projects and snack we practiced our play with our scenery! 

Next we found the perfect slice of shade for parachute games.

Where'd they go!?

It was a very fun (and hot!) day at camp!  Now for families, a picnic, and a performance!

The stage is set.

"Little Girl" and her brother are getting ready.

Gunniwolf awaits!

Gunniwolf falls asleep and away runs Little Girl!

I love these mob-style performances. :)

Thank you for being a part of Back Yard Club this week!  

We had a wonderful time with your children.

Enjoy the rest of your summer!

Today's projects 

Veggie prints

Giant nature loom

Sand art

Salt Dough (to leave here)

Today is Bria's birthday!  

Bria loved weaving the long nature treasures through the loom.

Just as we were winding down for snack the black clouds rolled in.

We saw the signs and headed to the basement for some inside fun!

Away from the thunder and rain

(we couldn't even hear it from there) ...

We danced!  The kids learned "Les Salut" a folk dance from France.  We also did a Swedish dance called, "Hurry Scurry."  Next was an American folk dance, "Jump Jim Joe."  We also danced "Floating Down the River."

We also explored our nature center.  We brought out 2 birds nests, a snake skin, some feathers, smooth bark, long brown seed pods that shake like maracas, and pine cones.  The pine cones were attached to our bean frames to make a frame full of lots of kinds of seeds.

Last, we got out instruments and played along to

 "Old MacDonald had a Band" and other songs.

Wednesday

Here's a little picture of the group during singing and story time!

This song starts with a lullaby and ends with everyone quite awake!

It's called, "Good Morning to You."

Owen almost falls asleep during the lullaby. ;)

Today's projects were

Yarn painting

Bracelets

Bean frames

Coil pots with an air dry putty

Harrison relaxes during snack time.

After snack we painted with water.  It's so simple and so fun!

We love watching our art evaporate on a hot day.

And...you can paint almost anywhere and see what happens!

We practiced The Gunniwolf and then danced!

We did the chicken dance.

This is "Floating Down the River" where there is a lot of jumping in the boat.
