This lesson also includes fun sensory herb play for our littlest learners, gardening activities for all ages, and an herbarium guide and word search for the older kids (and so much more). LESSON 2 HELPFUL GARDEN FRIENDS AND MORE NATURE ART Nature is a very special place and every part of it – whether you’re looking at a garden, a crack in a sidewalk, a beach, or a single tree – is like its own little world bustling with activity! This lesson will take campers from arts and crafts to insects and worms, encouraging discovery of pollinators and other nature friends. Fun activities include projects for all ages like Starting a Butterfly Restaurant, Hosting a Ladybug Release Party, Easy Magic Herb Wands, Flower Suncatchers, and more advanced activities like Plant Print Tee Shirt and Herb Bugs and Dolls! LESSON 3 HAVE FUN IN THE KITCHEN Let’s get to know our kitchen-favorite herbs and spices – it’s time to move into the kitchen for some baking and cooking fun! This lesson is chock full of kid-friendly herbal recipes and tasty treats like Flower Power Jigglers, herbal ice cream, cooling popsicles, and more – all to enjoy on a hot summer day! Our campers will also explore kitchen-based crafts and activities like a sensory herbal rice box, our favorite herbal playdough, and a Cinnamon Fairy House! Have fun exploring one or many of these recipes per day for week 3 of summer camp! LESSON 4 TAKE CARE OF YOU! CREATE YOUR OWN SELF-CARE We believe that good self-care should happen at any age.
