Camping Theme Breakfast & Party Favors

So we treated the teachers to a back to school camping themed breakfast.  Here’s a few of the table centerpieces I created to add to the festivities…

This one includes a mini-fir tree from my Christmas stash, some Lincoln Logs and crayons I borrowed from my kids, and a couple of battery operated tea lights.  Did I mention the decor was pretty much free stuff I found around the house?

This centerpiece includes another mini fir tree wrapped in burlap, a “tackle box” (aka my daughter’s new pencil box), and a paper sack filled with “fish bait” gummy worms.

This was an easy addition – peppermint “Owltoids” in a glass bowl:

Another prop from my daughter, I perched this teddy bear in an iron-garden-trough-thingy I found in my craft stash.

This centerpiece was easy to make with a few paper sacks with scrapbook paper made to look like owls. I found the idea for this on Pinterest here.

I still haven’t found a use for this square grassy wreath I found at Tuesday Morning last year.  But it worked for this centerpiece with a lantern and candle I had in my living room.  I added burlap and baker’s twine to the candle along with a battery operated tealight. Easy peasy.  And free.  =)

I also made tent cards to decorate the tables.

Here’s a look at a few of those tent cards up close:

And this one is by far my favorite.  Friends still makes me laugh. Tweaked from the brilliant art found at this campsite.

Finally, I made some S’more treats as a party favor for all the teachers and staff.  Just take two of these deluxe graham cookies and a stacker mallow…

assemble into a cookie-s'more-sandwich and

put in a clear, sealable craft bag

with a tag!

An easy takeaway s’more snack for a campfire-free event.

Thanks for visiting!
