christmas list

here are some things you can buy for your girls for christmas that we can use in future camp fire meetings. most of these items are difficult for us to buy for everyone from our kitty, but are fairly inexpensive. for example, if enough people have the carving tools, we can share at a meeting on carving rubber stamps.

these are all great gifts if you are looking for "non china made cheapo toys" for your kid this year! the red hoody jacket is great to have for camp fire events, the girls can wear them as their "uniform" when we are out and about in public too.

1. speedball carving tool and blocks

2. speedball carving tool kit (it comes with a rubber block to carve)

3. watercolor paints, acrylic paints ( i like the "golden" brand as well)

4. watercolor pad of paper, sketch pads

5. oil pastels, good quality colored pencils

6. brushes (nice set of different sizes)

7. camp fire red hooded jacket (sold at the camp fire store)

8. thin white canvas boards (like the ones we used for the wetlands paintings) these are very inexpensive

9. keri smith books for inspiration, "how to draw" books

finally: anyone looking to donate art items to our group craft supplies: we need white glue, plain white copy paper, poster board (3 sided free standing boards are great too), construction pads, fabric pens, fabric paint

hope this helps everyone with their christmas shopping!
