The Mom I Want to Be

An easy way for kids to make a quick rain poncho for camp.  From Kids Camp!: Activities for the Backyard or Wilderness. 

Make a simple poncho to protect you from rain showers.  Spread a plastic tarp or vinyl shower curtain out on the floor and fold it in half.  Lie on it with your arms spread out along the fold.  Have a friend mark where your wrists are on the plastic.

Cur the poncho to make a square long enough to cover your arms.  Cut a hole in the center just large enough to fit your neck.  Use glue, or needle and thread, to attach Velcro pieces along the front opening.
