Some suggestions:

Rubber mallet
Hammers
Boards with pre-drilled holes

Fairy Tale Camp

The main focus this week was to inspire both imagination and play by introducing the children to popular and modern fairy tales. Another goal was to expose them to illustrations of stories that they may already be familiar with, but from artists other than Walt Disney and Dreamworks. Other projects that you may have seen in your child's mailbox were focusing more on early literacy and writing skills.
