Before the kids head off to summer camp, squeeze in some craft time to create this camp stationery set. Note cards, envelopes, address labels and postage stamps are all neatly packed inside a little backpack, which you can add to their favorite stuffed animal!

Kids will have a fun time making their own stationery set, and then filling them in later so you can hear all about their summertime fun!
