|Sitting in a row. |

To make real canteens - use 2 small "Chinet" paper plates, small bottles of water unopened and a heavy piece of yarn or rope to make the strap.

Have the children paint their paper plates - we used green & brown to represent camouflage. After plates are dry - insert a small bottle of water so that the cap is sticking out. Staple the edges of the plate. Punch a hole on each side of the bottle through the plates - tie your yarn or rope to make the strap. the kids and their parents loved these.

 Lanterns--

You need two clear plastic cups approx. 6ozs. We painted one with green and brown tempera paint to look camouflage with a sponge. When it dries take orange, yellow and red tissue paper and put inside to represent flames. Lastly take the clear cup and put upside down on the painted cup. Hole punch both cups on each side and run a pipe cleaner thru each set of holes, twist and meet at the top to make a handle. There you have it a lantern!!

Sleeping Bags

You need: 1 Large white pillowcase per child and Fabric paints.

My son and I discovered that a Large pillowcase makes the perfect sleeping bag. Just have the kids decorate any way they want when the sleeping bags are dry have the kids crawl inside and gather around for a campfire sing along or spooky story.

Fireflies 

On dark colored construction paper, (Preferably black), Have student use their finger to make two prints beside each other in white. Then using same finger do one print in the middle in yellow. The more they make the nicer it looks :).

Backpack: Take a grocery sack and let the children color it anyway they want. Trim about two inches off the top of the grocery sack. Attach the trim pieces to the back of the bag as straps.
