A Fun Summer Camp Creation

Hello everyone! I know I may be a little boring and repeating myself the last few days but I can't help it. Summer Camp is all I do right now and it's taking up most of my energy, so bare with me... there are just 2 more weeks to go. :-)

Today we made these Paper Pots made out of newspaper's strips and glue.

I've seen the tutorial here and I wanted to try it out. Looked so easy. Well, I'm sorry to admit that "my kids" aren't that cooperative... plus our time for crafting is limited, so the result isn't so satisfying, well at least for me. Anyway, here are some pics of the whole process and some of their creations.

Regardless our result, you should try it out.

It's so easy and the possibilities are endless.

You can decorate it with so many things,

plus you can use so many different containers as "mold".

I'd love to see your creations.

Birthday July

I don't know how to explain it, but it seems that July is a pretty good month for births! The last 2 weeks we had 4 birthday parties and we have also another one tomorrow! We make fun of it by saying "I think December was a really busy month ;-) " -you know, 9 months before... ;-) Get it?- hahahaha Anyway, the kids are super excited every time, they are waiting the birthday cake with such and anticipation and also there's the surprise of The Birthday Wishes Book which has become a tradition so far. Every time I have to come up with something new so that none is the same with the previous. Everyone should have their own, unique design. It's a challenge but I really enjoy it. So, let me share some photos of my creations so far, their birthday cakes and also some random creations that we have made. I'd like to know what you think...

Vido Summer Camp

Yesterday I got some really good news! They've asked me again to participate to the Program of  Productive Creativity for children aged 6-11 years old, that is organized by the Municipality of Corfu on the island of Vido.

 This time it'll be a one month program, from Monday to Friday,
8:00-14:30 pm that will include the following:

>taking the children by boat across to the island

>taking breakfast at the camp

>organizing team games

>going to the beach

>taking lunch at the camp

>organizing a little craft workshop

>returning to Corfu by boat

It'll be my second year there. Last year we had so much fun, even though everything was new and we all were in a stage of experimenting we have managed to collaborate perfectly and the result was AMAZING!
I can't wait to start on Monday and be around those little happy faces again. We're going to have so much fun!

Under these circumstances of course the schedule of my blogging

will change a bit, but don't worry, I'll be around. 

Have A Great Summer

& Happy July

I forgot to mention that.
