What can you do with a frisbee?

Last night I spent a pleasant evening with some of my favorite people and a large stack of Frisbees. Near where I live is an amazing park four different tiers. Defiantly  more than enough space to keep you interested for a long time. I had never realised this until last night, but you can do a lot more with a Frisbee than just play ultimate Frisbee (which is a great game...if you are athletic☺)

1. We played Frisbee golf. We walked through the park and aimed at stationary objects and tried to hit said object in as few tries as possible.

2. One person throws the Frisbee. The rest of us tried to throw ours as close as possible to theirs. The Frisbee that ended the farthest away is the new target.

3. We played truth or dare. Dangerous yes...but there are some groups where its safe. This group was one of those;)

Day Camp Fun

Because Pascal and I like to pretend, I created an imaginary summer camp for him to attend, and I thought that you might like to hear about it!


In this booklet, there are a series of badges on the final page. These badges are to be colored in as you earn them. Here are the instructions to earning those badges.


Music Badge-  We earned this badge by singing camp songs. These can be any simple children's songs that you know, the choice is up to you!


Picnic Badge- We earned this badge by, well, having a picnic!!! We spread a blanket out on the grass (yes, we left the tower!), and ate camp fire mix.


How to make campfire mix: Mix marshmallows, gram crackers, and chocolate ships together in a bag. Enjoy!


Astronomy Badge- To earn this badge, we read Fancy Nancy sees Stars

This book is super cute, and after we read it, we created our own constellations.


Toilet Paper Roll Constellations:


Supplies:


-Toilet Paper Roll
-Dark Blue or Black Tissue Paper
-Rubber Band
-Pin


Instructions:


1. Cut the tissue paper into two 4" by 4" squares. I had one light blue square and one dark blue square.
2. Cover 
one end of the toilet paper roll with both sheets of the tissue paper. Secure with rubber band.
3. Punch a design in the tissue paper with the pin. You can do your initials, or any other design your heart desires. You want enough dots that light shines through, but don't put them too close together.
4. Now hold it up to the sky, and you can see stars what ever time of day you want!


Nature Walk Badge- This is a simple nature walk that can easily be done in your neighborhood or even the back yard. It is included in the camp booklet. Along with that, we read Fancy Nancy Poison Ivy Expert. (Yes we like Fancy Nancy!)

Arts and Crafts Badge- This is a craft project that can be done with objects found in the world around you! On your nature walk collect leaves, flowers, and other interesting things that you might come across. Use glue to attach these items on a piece of paper, and then add to the picture with crayons. Family Fun Magazine suggests creating fairies. 

Animal Badge: The pages for this activity are located in the camp booklet. We talked about different animals that are found around the world. We also created our own animals. For this activity pick any fun book that has to do with animals, I don't have any fabulous suggestions.

Hope you enjoy!

Lots of Love,

Rapunzel 

P.S. To assemble the book, cut the pages in half, and staple them together. The books will come soon!

Have some very Harry fun!

Being stuck in a tower provides you with a LOT of reading time. 

Trust me, I would know.


So, needless to say, I have read all the Harry Potter books.


And, I , just like any other crazy Harry potter fan, am physicked for the last movie to come out next month. So in honor of the premier, I'm posting some Harry Potter coloring pages from http://www.coloring-book.info! Enjoy!


Year one

More Harry fun to come!!! Enjoy!!!

Puppets

I love coloring.

A lot.

So, this afternoon, I decided to make puppets! 

I even got Pascal to try it out.

We both agreed that it was a success, and we hope that you will too. 

Supplies

Puppets
Craft Sticks
Masking Tape
Glue sticks
Colored Pencils
Construction Paper, or Card stock


Instructions


Begin by coloring the puppets. Colored Pencils work best, because they can do the little details.

After you have colored them, cut out the character, not the back ground. Glue the character on the construction paper, if you didn't print it out on card stock. 

Do this with all of the puppets. 

Once that is done, carefully cover the puppets in masking tape, and cut them out. You can also laminate them. 

After that, you can stick the stick on the back with masking tape. 

A fun way to create a puppet show is to get some fairy tale stories from the library, and to read them while the small chameleons(or children) in your life act the story out! 

I will be posting the puppets soon, but you can also just use coloring pages you find online. Here is a good website that I used a lot http://princess-coloring-pages.blogspot.com/ .

Lots of Love, 

Rapunzel 

Play Dough

This afternoon, Pascal and I decided to make play dough!!!


Pascal is an AMAZING helper, and this project was perfect for his little hands. He held measuring cups for me, and even did a little of the stirring. Yep, I think he is right on his way to be a skilled play dough maker!

He loved it SO much,  that he begged me to share the recipe with  you. 


Play Dough (from my mother's little red cook book)


Stores three months in the fridge


1 cup flour
1 cup water
1 tablespoon oil
1/2 cup salt
2 teaspoon cream of tarter
Food coloring


Mix everything, except for food coloring in a sauce pan on medium heat, until it starts to form a ball. Make sure you wait until most of it forms a ball, or else it will be too sticky.

Kneed the color into the dough on a piece of parchment paper.

To make more than one color, split to dough and kneed the 
different colors into each section. 

Enjoy!


Lots of Love,

Rapunzel
