The June 2024 Camp Cupcake is a hit! So far we've made rainbow cupcakes with tie dye frosting, apple crisp, and fudge cupcakes with buttercream frosting. We decorated the fudge cupcakes with candy to make "monster" cupcakes.
We've also been playing a clapping game that focuses on cross-lateral movement, so important for the development of the brain. In addition, we've been playing a different clapping game that is actually a skip counting game (the 3s). Finally, we've been playing the egg & spoon game which develops hand/eye coordination and balance. Shush! Don't tell the kids. They think we're just having fun.
