088: An Unusual Arts & Crafts Summer Camp Project!

Did you love arts & crafts at camp, or hate it? I was a mixture of both – some projects I loved, and some I loathed, and as I think about those projects, I realize that I disliked the micromanaged, do-it-the-instructor's-way-or-else projects the most. I always loved the open-ended stuff best. Also, big projects were really fun, as were those that got you super-messy. For today's summer camp arts & crafts show, I'm sharing my all-time favorite project to do with little kids: painting a giant mural just as Michelangelo painted the Sistine Chapel ceiling! First, a quick note about the Ninja Parenting Community: I've had a technical glitch hold up the opening for a few weeks, which is a bummer. However, it can work out really well for you because, as compensation, I'm offering more one-to-one support to those who become part of my email group and join the community in its very first week! (Hopefully in late July.) Becoming part of the email group now means: – a weekly email about what's happening on We Turned Out Okay – the chance to join the Ninja Parenting Community at the best pricing that there will ever be, period. – a one-to-one parent coaching call every three months for all the time you're continuously in the community! – I'm offering this as compensation for the time we are all stuck waiting as I figure out the technical glitch, so you definitely want to jump into my email group! Become part of the email group by clicking this link or going to weturnedoutokay.com/ninja-parenting-community-login and signing up to get notified about when the Ninja Parenting Community opens.
