Summer Camp - Messy Fun

Honestly this is always my favorite summer camp to do.  I enjoy all the others, but this one is so chill and we get to break rules (like eating with our fingers and then playing with our food) and we get super messy!

Spray Chalk -  This was fun!  I think I need to make the colors more vibrant next time by using food coloring instead of paint.  I used the recipe on this blog:  Here!
 It was sprinkling today...
Spraying the bush was fun!  And making letters too!
 

The liquid chalk that didn't fit in the squirt bottles, I just brought outside too.  The kiddos were trying some color mixing...
 We enjoyed spraying but of course it was even more fun to dump it!

Dying Eggs - Every kid I know LOVES to dye eggs, so I thought this would be a perfect addition to our messy camp!  And it was!!

Fingers are way more useful in a project like this than spoons.  And the kiddos were delighted to be using them!
Taa daa!  Aren't they beautiful!

Pudding Painting - Whaaat?!  Yep!  We ate and painted with pudding today!  So tasty and fabulous!
I made a bunny ...  The kiddos found him very tasty ...

Washing Off - And this his how we wash up after such silliness...


Water Jug - I have been looking for a jug that the kiddos could use to get water for themselves in our mud area... And I found it in the laundry room!  Wahoo!  Granted, I got to refill it several times, but no worries.  It was super fun!
 

We pulled out the slide so we could run water down it.  It made a lovely river and we were so excited when the river ran beyond the gate!
 

Mud Play - Oh yes!  This is what we have been waiting for...


Colored Water - Potion Play - We LOVE to create potions!  Today was another perfect day for it.  (Just water and food coloring.)

Popping Rice Krispies - Ha!  I forgot how wonderfully they "snap, crackle, and pop!"  The colored water made it a bit more interesting...
I got this great idea from this blog:  Here!

Jell-O - Come now, we couldn't have a messy day without jell-o!  Again, first we munched it, then we played in it...
