One of the more fun activities that Lavender Garden had was the candle making activity. Its a really good fit for kids and allowed Gerry to pour different coloured stones into a small glass with layers of candle wax between them (or should that be the other way round?).
You can see the half completed product here With each layer, Gerry chose a different color so that by the end, we had a multi-coloured monstrosity of a candle. He even chose two different colors for the top which came out quite nice in the finished product which you can see below.
The little bits that you can see around the candlewick are little seashells that we used to decorate the top of the candle.
Quite a few of the activities organised by Disney World of English centred around teaching the kids about wildlife and different parts of animals. One of the games even involved making a toy fish out of strips of rubber.
In case you are wondering, those things stuck on the fish are meant to be scales.
And obviously, for a place called Lavender Garden, they had fields of lavender as well. The kids really enjoyed playing hide and seek in the fields and this is one of the few pictures with a decent focus that we managed to get of Gerry running around.
There was even a "graduation" ceremony at the end of the day to prove that Gerry had been to the camp. The guys in green sweatshirts are the people from Disney World of English who were basically acting as tour guides throughout the day.
