Week 3
🌸☀️🌿💐🌈🌻Project challenge #1🌸☀️🌿💐🌈🌻
Make Your Own Fairy Garden or Gnome Home
Grab an empty flower pot from the backyard, collect a few sticks, go on a rock hunt & gather a few interesting stones and leaves, then create your own fairy garden or gnome home from your findings! Find more inspiration and ideas HERE
🌸☀️🌿💐🌈🌻Project challenge #2🌸☀️🌿💐🌈🌻
Make a Cardboard Structure & Decorate It
Grab that empty cardboard box, some toilet paper rolls, some tape and maybe some stray Christmas lights and get creative! You could build yourself a castle, a house for your dolls or action figures, your dream car to host your own drive-in movie at home with, or maybe even a rocketship!!! For a fun twist & blast from the past, try making a cardboard maze for your family to try out, just like we used to way back when! Find Inspiration HERE
🌸☀️🌿💐🌈🌻Project challenge #3🌸☀️🌿💐🌈🌻
Make a Gnome Friend

Take Your Gnome Friend Exploring
Answer a few riddles from our Shreveport-Bossier Family Fun Scavenger Hunt & Explorer's Walk and take your Gnome Friend out to explore our area at the locations you discover from them! Photo-document your Gnome Buddy's journey and share with us HERE.
🌸☀️🌿💐🌈🌻The challenges are for all ages and YES your family can be its own team OR you can grab a friend or neighbor to play along with.
Each week, a new set of challenges will be announced along with any rules and directions that need to accompany them.
All arts & crafts challenges will have multiple ways of completing them, so you can use whatever you have around the house and improvise to complete them.
I will always include links to inspiration and ideas to help you get started as well as options for a wide range of ages so everyone can participate.
Entries/Likes will be tallied on a week to week basis for the duration of the game with the overall top team winning a gift basket at the end of the summer.
You may start posting as soon as you complete your first challenge. Each week we will have a different set of challenges to complete.
Don't forget to watch for next week's challenge in the next newsletter & to see your creations featured!
