New Monthly Girl Camp Today!

Check out these cuties!  I had such fun with a new group of kiddos.  We made these pillowcases that showcase ice-cream and cakes, sure to bring "sweet" dreams to these sweet girls.  We also made hair clips, bands, bobby pins and containers to hold them,  and read stories under their choice of my quilts.  Fun.  I still have 4 spots available in this camp.  Contact me if you are interested!

Week Long Girl Summer Camps!

Color Camp for Girls

June 20 -24 9:30AM -12:30

$125.00 (includes lunch and supplies)

Bare Feet Creations’ Week long camps are super fun. There is ample time at the art table, where the girls will be making creations that will either go home with them the day they make them, OR at the end of the week after they either dry, or need another step added. Each day will have a healthy lunch provided and story time and outside water play (so bring a swimsuit and towel). Occasional treats, like popsicles or otter pops, will be provided.

1. Home made Stickers: The girls will get a chance to create some small art scenes. Then we will paint the back of their art with a homemade, food grade “stick” that they can later lick and add their own stickers to special papers. They can make as many as they like.

2. Write a story book and illustrate it with scratch and Sniff Water Colors: On this day we will read some of my favorite Scratch and Sniff books and then head to the craft table to make their own small, short story with paints we MAKE that are scratch and sniff!

3. Photo Marble Magnets: Your child will need to come to camp with up to 8 photos that will fit about 1” to 1 ½ inch magnets. We will attach these special photos to clear marbles and add magnets to the back. These look so cute on the fridge or make great gifts for grandparents and aunts and uncles. The girls can make up to 8 magnets. If you don’t have any photos to provide, then the girls will use magazine pictures or create their own.

4. Finger Jello: We will make layers of different colored and flavored jellos that can be cut and eaten with fingers.

5. Cupcakes! We will decorate cupcakes with colored frostings and sprinkles and bring some home for the family to enjoy!

$125.00 (includes lunch and supplies)

Bare Feet Creations’ Week long camps are super fun. In this week’s session we will do all kinds of cool stuff, in fact, the activities that I have noticed from working with children, that they like the best. Every day your child will also receive a healthy lunch, so when you pick up, your child is fed. We will have outside time and story time and occasional treats, like otter pops.

1. Gold Fish Crackers: The kids LOVE making their own, crazy delicious Gold Fish Crackers. They will roll the dough, cut them out and bake them, sample them and take lots home. The recipe is included.

2. Lemonade: We will squeeze our own lemonade and in this camp, we will make enough for the kids to take some home in their own pitcher to share with their families. Kids just love this and feel such pride in sharing with their families.

3. Hair Clips: We make really cute clips at Bare Feet Creations. The kids get so very involved, that they are quiet, creating masterpieces at the table. I have We will make some old favorites and newer varieties too.

4. Pillowcase: We will make a summer themed pillowcase. The kids sit at the machine with me and actually sew their own. I love watching their confidence grow as they realize “I MADE THIS!” It is an heirloom they can keep for years.

5. Treasure Hunt: My treasure hunts are so fun. I make them so every child gets a chance to read a clue and find a treasure so that it is fair. After the treasures are found, we decorate a container to keep them in.

Re: Fundraiser Camp

I am so looking forward to the Mom's Night Out Camp at the end of the week that I dontated as a fundraiser for Hooker Oak School.  Moms (laughter and chatter), cupcake fondue, hanging flower decorations, and munchies!  All the while, raising money to put into kids' classrooms!

St. Patty's Day

Today my Tuesday Girls made special St. Patty's Day pins with wool felt, shamrocks and pennies from the year of their birth.

First we cleaned the pennies by soaking them in fresh squeezed orange juice and salt.  This solution is super cool; it smells good and works FAST!

Then the girls arranged their pins.

Then they wore them on their shirts OR on their new, green bunny ears I gave them!

They also made each mixed up vanilla ice-cream, peppermint extract and green food coloring to make their own Shamrock Milk Shakes!

ST. Patrick's Day Camp

These girls met this week for what I think might have been their most favorite camp ever!  The girls made festive green colored gold fish crackers, and made Shamrock shakes by adding their own green food coloring and mint flavoring to vanilla ice-cream, each girl blending her own shake.  We also made really, really cute pillowcases that have a "hint" of green, so they can't be pinched.

New Monthly Girls Camp

I have had several requests to open another Monthly Girls Camp :)  These camps are such fun.  The girls love coming together each months and I love watching their trust and friendships grow. Each camp includes a snack for your child in addition to the creations we make in the description.   I created this Monthly Camp to last till the end of the school year.  Soon I will be posting a Summer Camp schedule.  By signing up fo this session of Monthly Camps you are committing to all three.  Contact me ASAP if you are interested as it is already filling fast.  $36.00 per month.  2:45-5:15

Pillowcases and Lemonade

It was a BEAUFIFUL day in Chico yesterday and it inspired us to sit outside to hand squeeze our own glasses of lemonade at camp.  We were all so in the moment and had such fun.  The girls added some sugar and mint from the garden and we slipped a fancy straweberry slice in each cup too. 

The girls got silly with their extra cute pillowcases.  The fabric is "Dog Yoga."

And so, Dog Yoga fabric inspired.....YOGA!  Until next week!
