Here is one of the finished frames. The girls painted them in the evening and left them to dry overnight. They used peel and stick fun foam shapes that had been languishing in our craft cupboard to decorate them before they went home. We took pictures of the girls looking through the frames, just for fun, and "Daisy" did the honours for a few girls who had to leave early.
Girls were so excited about their "tents/playhouses" and enthusiastically decorated them. We were short of time, but I think most would happily have spent and hour or more just decorating and then playing in them. This was a super popular idea with all of them! In retrospect, we would have given them scotch tape as well as glue, maybe some bingo daubers, wallpaper samples or scraps, and of course, more time. Isn't that always what we run shortest of??
At the end of the sleepover we stacked the houses and gear in and around the entry way, and after Closing, the girls played in them till the parents arrived.
Skit time... it might have worked better if the table "stage" was rectangular instead of round, as girls would then not have been as likely to turn backs to the audience. Nevertheless, the skits were enjoyable, educational, and authentic! The skit themes can be found here.
I hope you have enjoyed peeking in at our Dolly Camp-in. Please comment with your own ideas and suggestions....
Till next time,
