Hi {firstname},

Summer is a season for outdoor activities, but some quiet time is also needed, with an opportunity to cool off. That's a great time for craft activities such as painting.

For the little ones, painting with a wine cork is an easy way to get beautiful results. Here is a painting with ants made with two sizes of wine corks and a fork (for the grass).

Older children can make an ant from an egg carton. Don't invite these big ants to your next picnic!

Speaking about ants, you surely know the fable about the Ants and the Grasshopper ? But did you know that there is also a fable about The Ant and the Dove? You can find the texts of all the fables in the Fables section of the Animaplates website!

Have you hear of "Camper's Christmas" ? It is a tradition where campers get together to organize a Christmas party in July. A few years ago, a group of campers sent me pictures of their Christmas decorations and of the giant nutcrackers they had made for the occasion. You can read their story on my blog.
