Cooking Up Some Fun!


It was our last day of Cloverbud Day Camp and did we ever cook up some food, toys and fun! We started the day with a new team game that went over really well...well okay the balloons went over our heads (as planned) really well.
To help celebrate our last day Mrs. Janice made smoothies and we had an unofficial smoothie mustache contest. It was really neat and the smoothies, according to Jayce were, "really nasty but good!" We drank up all the smoothie mixture and then headed into our groups with Mrs. Christy and Mrs. Janice. We decorated our recycled cans from Thursday and decided how we were going to use them. With Mrs. Janice we made our own tortilla chips from whole wheat tortillas and Mrs. Janice's homemade seasoning. We also baked our chocolate chip cookies that we made the dough for on Wednesday. It has been in a freezer in a log and all we had to do is slice off a cookie. It was fun.
After lunch we had a very special visitor. Miss Michelle from Richmond County came for a visit with her rabbit Carolina (she has two rabbits the other one's name is Virginia). Her rabbit weighs about 20 pounds and is on the endangered species list. We learned all about rabbits, endangered species, wild animals vs. domestic animals and we even got to pet Carolina. We saw her food and even got to see her give herself a bath. It was extra special neat!!!!
After our visitor we got a little wild and carefree cooking ourselves a toy.
Miss. Shea Ann let us break up into groups and we made super sweet play dough. We used butter, powered sugar, corn syrup, salt and vanilla. It was lots of fun to make and even more fun to add color to. We each got to take some home to play with. It was lots of fun.
Then we settled in for our afternoon snack. We each got to have a chocolate chip cookie and try our chips and salsa. The chips and salsa were extra special good and we made the biggest chocolate chip cookies ever. After snack we got our last playtime with all our new friends and gave great big hugs to all our adults who helped keep us busy all week. We all are excited about coming back next year for even more hands on fun and accidental learning.
