| From chickens at camp |
We’ve had a chicken inspired time at camp. In anticipation of our neighborhood chickens coming for a visit we had a few projects for grown ups and for the kids. The moms cut out felt chickens and spent a few minutes each week sewing as I “worked” with the kids. We worked in the garden digging compost and looking for worms. We planted Swiss chard seeds and painted cardboard chickens . While the kids and I explored and created the moms chatted and stitched. One mom said her family would be impressed that she “made” something. I think even if you’re not particularly crafty or creative just having a little time to “play” with creative materials can be relaxing and inspiring for adults. We topped off our chicken series with a visit from our neighborhood hens, Rosalita and Mamacita. Everyone had a chance to hand feed these gentle birds and all the moms who started a felt chicken, finished it!!!

“Chickens at Camp” was the absolute best! My son loved when the live chickens came for a visit. The stitching project for moms was perfect (just challenging enough to be fun). Keep the fun coming Gail (for moms as well as kids).

That was fun. I was happy to see you and Thomas with the chickens all by yourselves.
