Sports Day 1- Volleyball

Click on the image to read! Sorry about the bad drawings, I'm bad at drawing hands :/.

Oh, and the other stuff I did...

I made a bow and arrow for my doll! The bow is made out of one of those cheap hotel toothbrushes, some duct tape, and some stretchy string. The arrow is a Nerf dart. I found it was easier to shoot than toothpicks.

Stories #1

Hello and welcome to the first day of 'Stories'!  :)  Do you like writing stories of your own?  Do you want to improve on writing?  Then this is the activity for you!  In this activity, each week we will talk about something new: coming up with story ideas, coming up with story characters, story setting, and at the end of summer camp you will have your own story!

So today we will talk about what you want your story to be about.  Think about what you want it to be about and leave a comment!

See you all next week!

Craft #1-Make your own Summer Keepsake Journal

Hello!  Today AGMarket isn't able to post the first craft, so I am posting it for her! :)  Enjoy!
This is Karenmomofthree's Craft and I have her permission to use it.  {Although, I came up with the steps}
<<----------------------------<<


Supplies:
1. Notebook (human or doll size).  Found for cheap prices at dollar stores.

2. American Girl craft stickers.  Found at Michael's.

3. Markers or letter stickers.

Directions:

1. On the notebook use the markers or letter stickers to spell out 'Summer Keepsake Journal'. 

2. Decorate the notebook with the AG craft stickers.  Make sure they stick on well.  If they don't, try using glue. {If you use hot glue, be sure to have adult supervision.}

3. Now you're done!  Let glue try if you used it.

4. Now you can fill it with all of your doll's summer adventures!


<<----------------------------<<

If you make this, be sure to post pictures of it on your day to post! :)  Check the schedule HERE.

Archery #1-How to make a bow and arrows

How fun is archery without a bow and arrows?
None!
So, here's how to make some. Sorry for no pics, I  left my camera at my grandma's house. Eep. Next week will have pics, I promise!

BOW


1. Get a nice stick.

  • Pine is really good, because it's strong and light, but any stick will do.
  • Don't tear them from the tree, but grab a dry one. It will last longer.
  • Make sure the stick is slightly curved and that it doesn't break when you fold it a little.
2. Get the bowstring.
  • Anything will do...
  • elastic thread
  • thin twine
  • string
  • yarn
3. Wrap the end of the string around the end of the stick.

4. Stretch the string and tie the other end to the other end of the stick.
  • Make sure it's nice and tight!
5. Cut off the excess.

Done!

Arrows- Toothpicks or small sticks are fine. 'Notch' them in the string, pull the string back a bit, and shoot!
It's supposed to actually work, for about 5-10 feet.

I hope that you liked it!

 Next up: Target practice. Make a target, and learn how to shoot!
Have an awesome summer,
