For families looking to provide a perfect setting for children to learn, play and grow, Little Bites Snacks has created the Camp Little Bites virtual summer camp series, dishing up activities that inspire adventure, independence and give parents a little more free time to themselves! Erica Domesek, the founder of P.S. I Made This, has been tapped as “Head Counselor” to bring her DIY passion and expertise to Camp Little Bites, leading campers through a summer filled with fun and creativity.
“With the help of Little Bites Snacks, we’re here to make this the best summer ever, giving parents and kids ideas for activities and little moments that create joy,” says Domesek, the creative force behind this year’s camp activities:
Making a Bird Feeder
Ready to meet all the birds in your neighborhood? This Muffin Box Bird Feeder will teach kids to reduce and reuse while having fun in nature.
