Okay, my husband, Rob, and I needed another activity for our favorite six year old, Paul. We don't want summer to be overprogrammed like school. It helps to have an activity, especially on Friday. So, we tried Michael's craft camp again. Paul didn't want to bring a friend, which I think would
make craft camp more fun. This morning Michael's was packed! The craft outing was a last minute decision--too late to pay for the class on-line. Happily, we could pay in person at the check-out. The activity leader was practically aphasic. Not that the projects were all that complicated. But, a little direction would have been nice. There were two choices: skunk or squirrel. Paul chose the skunk. What can I say? He was in a mood and less than enthused. It didn't help Rob kept describing the squirrel as a rat. I ended up studying the print-out instructions on the leader's desk, particularly for the skunk. The other participants made the class fun. Two sisters were at the camp with their five children and made the class much more engaging. What's the verdict? I believe we need to bring a friend if we go next week for a third class. It is an outing; but, the projects still feel underwhelming. If Rob and I are a little desperate for an outing next week, which I think is likely, we'll try one more class next week. Here are photos of the completed projects.
