Home camping trip

Yearning for camping? But it's too cold? Guess what? You can have a camping trip in you're very own house!

What you will need: 

A sleeping bag
A lantern (optional)
Marshmallows (if you're mom wants you to eat something healthier, ask her to make these: http://urbanposer.blogspot.com/2011/11/home-made-honey-sweetened-marshmallows.html )
A blank scrapbook
A camera
A computer and printer
Crayons

How to: First, roll out you're sleeping bag on the couch or on the floor. Put the lantern next to it. Then, take a picture of you on you eating marshmallows on the sleeping bag. True, you can't roast them, but I think they taste good anyway, right? If you want, you can draw a picture of a campfire and pretend to roast them with you're dolls and stuffed animals. You can take a picture of that, too. 


Sometimes when I go camping, I buy postcards and mail them to friends. If you want, you can draw pictures of forests or lakes or campsites, and paste them into the scrapbook. You can even add magical forest creatures, like gnomes, phoenixes, dragons, and forest fairies. If you have a stuffed magical creature, (or a magical creature doll) you can place it in front of a drawn picture of the woods and take a photo. Or you can take a photo of a magical creature in the woods in a fairy tale book. (Make sure you can't see the words!) 


Finally, print out all the pictures you took and paste them into the scrapbook. (Glue sticks work best.) For extra decoration, draw things like leaves, mushrooms, flowers, etc. around them. Presto-wham-o! Not only was that fun, but you also made a really cool scrapbook, right? =)
