About a month ago we were sitting around the conference table and discussing what we should do for our next club meeting. We have many activities for the children and we were looking for something that we could take to the 2023 Rocky Mountain Stamp Show and use at our club meetings.
Regina commented, "We have many activities for the boys, what about something for the girls?" We put our heads together and we were not coming up with anything earth shattering or exciting for the children. We closed the meeting and agreed we would think about ideas.
Well wouldn't you know, a few hours after leaving the RMPL it dawned on me. We have a couple albums of Disney material, stamps, souvenir sheets and covers. Why not create an activity board using scenes from favorite movies and select a number of the princess, princes, and character stamps related to the movies. A few quick e-mails back and forth and it was a sealed deal.
In a matter of a few weeks, we had a large board made, took the individual stamps and mounted them on mat board, added some Velcro dots, and we had created a beautiful "Enchanting Stories" activity for our young princesses and princes.
This past weekend we had an opportunity to test the board on a couple members of the Cypher Stamp Club. When we mentioned we had a new activity and it was Disney related, their eyes lit up, big grins and smiles spread across their faces and they started bouncing up and down.
We brought out the board and the package of stamps, explained how to complete the activity and let the girls go. It took about 15-20 minutes to complete placing all of the stamps on the correct movie scenes but it was a joy to watch them look at a stamp, study the board, and place each stamp. Did they enjoy the activity. Take a look at their faces and tell me they did not enjoy the activity.
