    [synopsis] => Make leaf rubbings, blow jumbo bubbles, bake Moon Pizzas, create a firefly lantern. More than an activity book, CAMP GRANNY is an interactivity book, filled with 130 projects that connect grandparents and grandchildren through nature-in the kitchen, the garden, and the art room.

Illustrated with evocative photographs and the author's watercolors, CAMP GRANNY is a book about being adventurous, about being curious, about noticing and really seeing things-about instilling a lifelong sense of wonder. 

Make Granny-ola in a handmade solar oven, grow a snack pot of radishes and carrots, create a firefly lantern, and on a rainy day make rain sticks.

This magical book shows how to do 130 activities that connect grandmothers and grandchildren through nature-in the kitchen, the garden, and the art room.

Camp Granny is more than an activity book, it's an interactivity book. It's about being curious, about being adventurous, about noticing and really seeing things, about instilling a sense of wonder. Sprinkled throughout are Mrs. Lovejoy's inventive grandparenting ideas that help make every visit a memorable one, filled with simple joys and discoveries that will have grandchildren coming back again and again.

Sharon Lovejoy calls this treasure trove of crafts, recipes and activities "a natural outgrowth of the way I have always lived and interacted with children." Many of the ideas and projects originated from her journal notes and sketches. Who could resist a "Faeries' Tea Party" where Heart- and Star-Shaped Faerie Sandwiches and Button Pie appear on the menu? Or building the title cottage for a toad and collecting leaves and flowers for a 3-D collage? More than 130 activities encourage an exploration of both the natural world and a child's imagination. Clear instructions, illustration and abundant photos make each project inviting, and a list of "ingredients" makes them manageable.
