Toothpics and Marshmallows

and squishy circuits - see www.tinkerlab.com

 During camp Nana on Tuesday, 
    the grands began their
      day exploring with...

magnets....

The grands used these materials...

marshmallows and toothpics...

and their engineering skills to construct...

a firefighter, a cube,



                                                    a spider and a house.

                         This is a fun book to incorporate with the above activity.

               Due to rain this morning, we decided to have some puppet shows.

       We made our puppet theatre out of canvas and used acrylic paints for the                
         handprints.   We hung the theatre up using a shower curtain tension rod.

              The grands took turns making up short stories using animal puppets...

Handy Manny...

The audience!

  

and some dolls! 

 We played a game called Cobbler, Cobbler!

The grands passed an old slipper behind their backs, around the circle, while the person in the middle closed their eyes.  After the following chant the person in the middle tried to guess who had the slipper. 

                    Cobbler, Cobbler mend my shoe, have it done by half past two.

                     Cobbler, Cobbler tell me true, which of you has got my shoe?

                Pops lead the grands in a Bible story skit about David and Goliath.

The Israelites are in their tent.

David throws the stone...

and down goes Goliath!!! 

Tree climbing is always a great way to wind down camp!


'til next time, it's grand to be a Grand!
