Cool Camp Stationary for Boys

Every year before we went to camp my mom let my twin sister and I pick out new stationary for our trip.  We wrote letters home almost every day detailing our adventures in swimming, hiking, camping, playing capture the flag and even our little skits.  It's almost time for camp to start and a new set of stationary to be purchased.  We scoured the internet for some cool stationary that the little guys would like.




This set is a little pricey but it just says the best about camp, to me.  Inhauspress on Etsy.com

Color!

Color!

This is a really neat art project by Emphasis Added!  Tres clever and so colorful.  Melting the crayons with a heat gun could produce any number of really creative pieces of art.  Don't use your hairdryer for this!

Mediterranean-Inspired Paper Mache Boat

My sister shared these adorable paper mache boats with me, by the artist Ann Wood.  The lovely creations she makes are for sale through her website but she has generously shared a pattern and instructions for making her enchanting sail boats on her blog.  These would be a great craft for your little one since you probably have most of the supplies at home already.  This project doesn't need to cost a penny if you're creative!

Who doesn't like a tepee? 
A place to make believe we are cocooned out in the wilderness cooking our grub on a roaring camp fire...
Snuggling amongst the blankets to read our books on a rainy day... 
As a secret meeting place for our secret club...
