While we were finishing up the last of the metal pieces, Pam did one last demo on connecting two pieces of metal with rivets. Some of the kids have moved on to salad tongs, pie servers and other pieces that have metal handles.
While Pam and the kids were riveting… I was connecting all of their metal cutlery pieces with the clay handles they made earlier in the week. Just a dab of 2-part epoxy will hold them together.
After they epoxy had cured, we started setting out each kid’s sets. Pulling together all of their clay pieces and metal pieces. So much fun to see everything coming together in the end… and seeing each kid’s creative vision come to fruition.
Gabi : Underwater theme
Madeline :Aquatic theme
Elynor : Underwater theme… yep, seemed to be a popular theme, huh?!
Alex : I think this might have been something about MineCraft… maybe ?!
Zoe #1 : Alice In Wonderland
William : not quite sure what his theme was… or if there even was one…
Bellah : Greek Mythology
Jessica : Jurassic Park
Claudia : Harry Potter
Zoe #2 : Food
Greyson : Mission Impossible
Sita : Garden…Â Â but unfortunately missed most of the metals days…
After finishing all of their work, we finally had time to sit down for our feast. Everyone had brought food to share. A great potluck with all kinds of food. Sliders. Pizza. Sandwiches. Chips. Macaroni & Cheese. Rice Pilaf. Watermelon. Brownies. Ice Cream … and so much more!!
Oh wait… did I mention my favorite?…
Yes. One of our campers brought in her COTTON CANDY MACHINE!!! Whoo-hoo!!!
What’s not to like about spun sugar? And what’s even better?… Gabi’s machine melts down any hard candy and spins it inot cotton candy. So we had an assortment of Jolly Rancher flavored cotton candy. I went with the tried & true Watermelon Jolly Rancher!!!
