Fabulously Fun Fridays!!!
Fun With Felt
Can You Dig the Sand?
Last year we had a great time making flowers
and frosted donuts out of felt. This year we will
have a couple other fun characters to make.
They could become a magnet, an ornament, or
something for your locker when school starts.
One will be an Owl for sure.
Want to have some fun in the sun? Come out
and enjoy some sand volleyball with other fun
enthusiasts! We will demo basic techniques and
then toss the ball up and begin to volley!
