For day four of nature camp we focused on mammals. Did you know that squirrels can use their tails as an umbrella or a blanket? We played a game where the kids took turns acting out different animals. It was interesting to think about the different ways animals moved. We had a very accurate representation of a bee!

For our snack we had apple rings with sunbutter and raisins.Then we made a 'squirrel snack bar' by spreading sunbutter on pinecones.....
rolling the sticky pinecones in birdseed, and tying on a string to hang the snack from a tree.
We played with shaving cream and food coloring to experiment with color mixing. I got this idea from the
Play at Home Mom Blog which has lots of creative, fun and inexpensive ideas for children.
All the children, from the oldest to youngest, enjoyed this activity
Of course, we had water play too.
E. made a 'shaving cream pirate' nose and kept it on for a long time. We all thought this was pretty funny!
The week has gone by so fast - it is hard to believe tomorrow is our last day. We'll be talking about camoflauge and celebrating with a popsicle party!
