Although we weren't really in the outdoors, we thought we should still think about keeping warm :). So, we painted up some paper towel rolls in colours of brown. These would end up being our logs, the main piece of our bonfire puzzle.
While our logs were drying, we decided to keep busy building paper canoes. Somehow I neglected to grab a photo of our crafty canoes so you will just have to imagine coloured canoes sewn together with yarn! (sorry).
By now, our logs are all dry and ready for a fire teepee. Rather than each make our own individual fires, we teamed up and built one group bonfire! So, criss cross, apple sauce, we placed and stacked the logs to prep for a perfect fire.
Final step, add heat! Not real heat of course, remember, we are in a tent after all. (and indoors). So, instead, we stoked our fire with coloured tissue paper to resemble pretty coloured flames.
Without child safety sticks nearby to roast our marshmallows, we resorted to just putting them right on the fire for a quick toast. :) Perfect ending to a perfect fire and canoe building night, toasted marshmallows....mmmmmmm!
Looking forward to tonight's family craft night theme of School Time. We will be making chalkboards and school buses. Its a good thing we have a big church to craft in! Thanks Highview.
