Camp Fire Up and Running

Guerilla art 101... we are using the guerilla art suggestions to spread the word on saving the wetlands. we talked about different ways to spread the word (or art, quotes and friendly thoughts) to others using different mediums. i made each girl a guerilla art kit which contained circles to make buttons, small note paper to put notes in library books or pass to friends (hopefully not in class, oops!) and a piece of chalk. i told the girls to use the chalk to write messages to our neighbors about saving the wetlands and put the web address there too. then they need to take a picture of themselves and the location. i am hoping for some creative locations... really get the word out! they are also going to make flyers to put in mailboxes and posters to put up on bulletin boards and street corners. the hands down best part (and the longest activity) was making the buttons, the girls really enjoyed it and made some really neat ones to share with friends and family.
