Camp skills...color blocking

Whew...this is the last camp layout. I had a great time scrapping the pictures, but I'm sure glad I'm done. I'm not a chronological scrapper, but for some reason I felt I had to scrap ALL these pictures before I did anything else...I'm not sure why.

So this is the last layout. I combined the edible campfire with learning to tie knots. Both activities were at the same time and they were both about learning camp skills, so I made it work. And I found a great one-page sketch that I altered into two pages for a color blocking technique...I sure like color blocking!!!

First, the girls learned how to make a camp fire and practiced with edible supplies like marshmallows for bricks, shredded coconut for kindling, and two sizes of pretzel sticks for graduated sizes of sticks/logs. The most important lesson, though, was that an adult is supposed to make the fire. And the most fun part was eating it when they were done...too bad they forgot the cinnamon candies for fire.

Then they learned how to make a few knots. The lesson was good, but I wish they had spent a few minutes explaining when each knot was used. I have to admit that I've already forgotten all the knots except the square knot. Of course, maybe it's because I was paying more attention to taking Erica's picture than to helping Erica and learning the knots myself. Thank goodness Miss Kim was there to help...hee, hee.
This layout uses supplies from My Scrapbook Nook's Monthly kit (I'm glad I finally found time to use these...they've been piling up). The papers are My Mind's Eye. I had a little problem scanning the layouts and had to piece them together...sorry.
