Blogtober Day 29 Gap Year Adventures: Halloween camp Day two

On to day two and the final day of Halloween camp at the Youth Cafe and it was packed with loads of activities. To start off the kids decorated goodie bags we made from printed basket templates and stapled together along with cut out bats, ghosts and pumpkins. They were certainly creative and could beat any Stella McCarthy bags on the runway. After taking a break a lovely lady from Jumping Clay came to do some projects with the kids. If you haven't heard of Jumping Clay (like me) its an amazing little idea, basically like play dough but more durable, cleaner and easier to sculpt. It also is jasmine scented so perfect for creating a relaxing atmosphere. I really enjoyed watching the demonstration and I think Jumping Clay is an amazing product and a great little thing to keep kids (and adults) busy. After the Jumping Clay master pieces were made and left aside to dry the kids packed up all and we went to the park for a few minutes. After bundling them all on to the bus they headed off to the cinema and I had getting off early had a half day.
I super enjoyed this camp it was perfect timing to start volunteering when this was going on as I got more time to get to know the kids and an idea of the place. Back to Homework group next week, oh thee excitement I can't keep it in.

This is a similar Jumping Clay product to what the kids made.
You can find Jumping clay here: I highly recommend it for all age groups.
