Stay Home Summer Camp 2021 Archive: Dragons & Unicorns Camp!

0
By on Big Kids

Mamas Facing Forward Stay Home Summer Camp was a project I developed during the isolated summer of 2020. For each theme I provide a menu of options to choose from, including: virtual learning resources, easy craft & snack ideas, simple activities, books, and movies/TV.

Trust me, whether you do it for a full week or just for a day, there’s something magical about doing a bunch of activities that all share the same theme. In fact, even though my kids will be traveling and attending regular summer camp this year, they’ve also requested some Stay Home Camp – so stay tuned for a couple of new themes!! I’ve also added “field trip ideas” to themes from past years as well.

I hope these ideas will provide your family with a little fun – while at the same time making summer a bit easier for you!!

Love, Mariah

DRAGONS & UNICORNS CAMP!

Below you’ll find a menu of ideas for learning, crafts, activities, books, and things to watch that focus on dragons and unicorns. I’ve tried to keep these ideas pretty simple and make use of items you may already have – while also making it fun for the kids! I’ve also included a free printable you can hang up at home while you work on this theme.
