Trail to Creativity: 2nd Meeting

What a fantastically fun Camp Fire Meeting! The kids had a blast. Everyone was laughing so hard, some parents even had tears in their eyes from the laughing fits.

We started the meeting off with Shaving Cream Fun... The kids played with piles and piles of shaving cream, feeling it, smelling it... writing their names with it drawing in it. Loads of fun and easy to clean up (we used two lg, plastic lawn bags cut in half here for a table cover).

Next 3 nursery stories were read to the kids. Goldilocks and the Three Bears, The Gingerbread Man and The Three Little Pigs. The kids were then given supplies to make puppets and worked on puppet shows to perform for eachother. It was a blast! Edna, a parent helper, narrated and the kids would act out the appropriate parts. The kids had such a good time and learned a lot about planning and following through with a "performance".

The "stage" was simply a expandable shower curtain rod placed in an entry way with a blanket over it... cheap, easy, perfect!
