☀️ What a creative week at the Morris Plains Recreation Summer Camp! 🎨
The Messy Smock had so much fun leading this week's enrichment art program! Campers explored a variety of mixed media techniques while creating unique summer-inspired projects using paint, watercolors, real sand, shells, yarn, beads, flowers, and more.
From colorful lighthouses and textured beach scenes to jellyfish, flower pots, and beaded ice cream keychains, every project reflected each child's creativity and imagination. We loved seeing so many different interpretations of the same project!
Thank you to the Morris Plains Recreation Department for having us. We had an amazing week creating with all of these talented young artists and can't wait to come back! 💙🎨
