Hello! We had such a wonderful first day of Back Yard Club! Here are some pictures to enjoy.
Each day camp starts with songs and stories at the blankets. After that we have 45 minutes of free-choice art projects. Painting as well as drawing with chalk, dry erase markers, and crayons, are available under the tent daily. We also offer 4 other choices.
Today's choices were
Object prints on black paper
Wood medallion necklaces
Eye masks
Clay creations (free play)
After project time we had a snack and then headed out to paint with water.
This is a great activity to try at home!
What happens when you paint water on the driveway? A tree? Leaves? Rocks?
How fast does it evaporate?
Next we read a bug book and went on a bug walk to see what little crawling and flying creatures we could find.
After our walk we got some drinks of water and listened to the story of the week, Goldilocks and the Three Bears.
Next we did some folk dancing! The kids learned Seven Jumps from Sweden. They also danced The Chicken Dance from Germany, and Ring around the Rosie.
In Seven Jumps there is a series of notes where each time around we add a body part that we touch to the ground. Until we get to seven! Knee, knee, elbow, elbow, hand, hand...
Head!!
Chicken dancing...wings!
Clap clap clap clap!
These two were quite the dancing duo during the part in the chicken dance where we twirl with a partner!
We are looking forward to seeing you all tomorrow!
