Camp Sunshine Week 2
Updated: Jun 5, 2020
This week we are focusing on the great outdoors! We will plant, decorate, feed our feathered friends, and do a little weather exploration. (***Start saving those paper towel rolls now!) I am SO excited about these projects! I think you and your kids are going to love them!
GROW YOUR OWN GRASS HEADS
These are the cutest and let you get really creative. Plus, once they grow, you can cut their hair! How fun is that?!
HUMMINGBIRD FEEDERS
Make a feeder out of recycled plastic bottles and try to entice some cute little visitors to your yard!
MUD PIE
Worms and dirt are an old stand by and always a kid favorite. We take it up a notch this week with a delicious creation that will taste way better than the mud pies you made as a kid!
RAIN CLOUD IN A JAR & RAIN STICKS
All plants in the garden need water to grow. In this experiment, we will replicate what happens to a rain cloud when those downpours occur. Then we'll make some nifty musical instruments that sound just like rain falling.
PAINTED ROCK FISH
Using rocks we've collected around the house or park, we will make adorable little fish that add a colorful pop to any outdoor space.

I'm on the search to find the best deals on the items on this list. I gave links for some items, but I'm almost positive I can find some things cheaper in the store. Be sure to check my instagram stories this week as I'll be sharing when I find a good deal!
