We're no strangers to air-powered experiments. Check out our balloon-powered pinwheel and swimming balloon squid. The success of those two activities pretty much guaranteed my son would have a blast with this. Rocket with a Drinking Straw Launcher CREDIT: Dollar Store Crafts Here's what you'll need: Disposable Bendable Drinking Straw Two pictures of rockets (use clip art or draw your own; just make sure they are mirror images) Toothpick Thread/string Hot glue Cut out your rocket pictures. Ours were approximately 2 inches by 1 inch in size. Turn one of the rocket pictures over and place a small bead of hot glue running up the center. Place the toothpick in the glue so half of it extends out the bottom of your rocket. Add glue on either side of the toothpick and carefully add threads to simulate engine exhaust (remember, the glue is HOT!). Now add some more glue to the entire rocket and place the other picture on top, sandwiching the toothpick and threads. Grab a straw and insert the toothpick into one end. Blow through the other end to launch your rocket. Turn this into a measuring activity! We placed a measuring tape on the ground and kept track of which launch went the farthest. My son's record was 5 ft. 8 inches! Balloon-Powered Rocket CREDIT: A Little Learning for Two Here's what you'll need: Packing tape Picture of a rocket (use clip art or draw your own) Disposable drinking straw String/Twine/Cording Cut a long length of your string and affix one end to a surface that's elevated (make sure it's not too high for your child to reach). We used the packing tape to hold it. Now cut the drinking straw in half. Thread it through the end of the other end of the string. Now tape that end to another area that is lower, so the string is at an angle. Blow up a balloon but do not tie the end closed. Use a piece of packing tape to adhere the balloon to the straw that is on the string. Make sure the open end of the balloon is pointing toward the elevated end of the string. Keep the balloon pinched shut with your hands or use a clothespin. Add a loop of the tape on top of the straw and place your rocket picture on top. Now release the balloon and watch the rocket whiz down the string! NOTE: We found it difficult to reuse the balloons so if you do this, have LOADS of extras handy. We launched our balloon-powered rockets again and again and again. It just never got old!

We love doing collaborative projects with our campers. It can create a sense of community and bonding amongst the budding artists during camp which is important to help the kids flourish while they are spending their days with us. During our printmaking week we came up with a great summer project that they could all agree on. Making a collective ice cream cone print. We used that printing foam that we have used a lot for many different ages. Each child cut out a circle from the printing foam and carved a design in it. The individuality of each child came out in the pattern that they might want on their ice-cream scoop. Some wanted sprinkles so carved a dot pattern or a line pattern. Other kids wanted swirls on their scoops or even a floral pattern. The kids then chose their flavors. From our collective nominations and votes we ended up with 4 flavors, chocolate, strawberry, lemon and mint. Look at these great ice cream colors. Each teacher started the prints out by carving and printing a sugar cone on each child's paper. Each child then printed their own ice cream scoop on each paper, stacking the scoops as they went. Some stacked neatly, some overlapped, some were crooked. It's what made each print an original. When finished we ended up with individual prints with each child's scoop on it but each one in different orders. Not only was the process fun but each print is it's own and delicious. Happy Summer!!!
