Today in Piney Ridge, the nocturnal friends decided to have a campout where they roasted food and played games!

Parents, feel free to engage with your kiddos using some pf the prompts from below.

• What do you like to do when camping/relaxing around a fire?
• What did Rico do to keep the fire from spreading?
  • He made a ring of rocks around the area where the fire was
• What are cattails?
  • A tall grass/reed with a brown furry spike at the top
• Which of the snacks the friends ate sounds the yummiest?
  • Insects, fish, nuts, popped seeds (like mini popcorn)
• How did Rico start a fire?
  • By rubbing a few sticks together until black soot/ash sparked and placed that on the fluffy cattails
• What did the friends do before they went home to sleep?
  • Put out the fire using water and dirt.
• What did the big plant say to the little plant?
  • What’s Up Bud!

For an activity, do some campfire activities! Make s’mores in the microwave and make some popcorn then gather around a light source like a candle or flashlight. Make a blanket fort and pretend it is a tent, share stories, play games. Play charades by having your kiddo pretend to be someone or something.
