Yesterday morning Day Camp was canceled due to a fallen tree, and I was determined to turn the morning around for Thade. I told him to get up and off the couch, At Home Mommy Day Camp was a back in session 🙂

I thought it would be fun to make handmade beads, and learn a little about making secondary colors too. I asked Thade to wait in the other room while I set up the camp. I got out Play Doh, Waxed Paper, a Sharpie, one Paper Plate, and one Toothpick. I then spread out the waxed paper on the table and made color equations with the Play Doh and Sharpie (red+blue=Purple). I then let Thade squish away at the Play Doh and make the new color creations.

When he was all finished we rolled the Play Doh into pretty beads that we can string together for a bracelet or necklace. Thade loved this craft, and he had a blast watching the Play Doh blend into a brand new color.
