They will learn how to safely handle arts and crafts supplies.

All craft supplies will be provided and at the end of the week, the girls will be able to take home their finished creations!

The first half of the day, they will decorate and personalize the aprons they will use throughout the week. In the second half of the day, we will make handheld mermaid mirrors with pearls and seashells to decorate.
  • Tuesday: We will decorate cardboard jewelry boxes to look like a decorated cake. We will use plaster as icing and piping bags to get that real cake-like effect. During the afternoon the girls will get to tie-dye beach towels.
  • Wednesday: We will start the day by making jellyfish LED lights. During the second half of the day, we will make clay fridge magnets.
  • Thursday: We will start our day by making suncatchers with beads, crystals, and other supplies. During the second half of the day, we are going to make pennant flags with the girls' names.
  • Friday: We will start the day by making glow-in-the-dark paintings that look like neon signs and will light up in the dark. In the second half of the day, we will make pipe-cleaner flowers and organize them into bouquets.
