Alright alright, the big topic I have right now is FOOD! When going camping there are a few supplies you will always need to take with you. When my family goes camping we make a list of what we need and go on a shopping trip to buy all sorts of goodies to take with us. It was always one of my favorite parts.
I really don't have any food for my doll, so I decided to start with some of the staple things I figured I would want on a camping trip. I even have some PDFs for you if you want to make some of the same things! I will provide a colored version, along with an outlined version if you want to color them yourself.
I had a ton of fun with these and I will try to give you the tips and tricks I learned while putting some of them together! And this is part one of two! I made so much food I thought I would separate it into two posts!
Chocolate Bars
Colored PDF Version / Outlined PDF Version
No camping trip is complete with out some yummy chocolate bars to make some s-mores! As you can see I chose to print the outlined version and color them myself. I love to color and didn't have colored ink, so it worked, but if you want to use the colored version go on ahead!
I made these chocolate bars by putting a layer of clear tape over the pictures and cutting them out. I then got some tin foil and wrapped it around a piece of dark brown foam. I put the foil wrapped foam inside of the cover and glued it shut. You could always tape it as well, in case you want to open later.
Graham Crackers
Here is the Graham crackers box. I colored the template and then cut it out. I glued it onto the paperboard and let the glue dry completely before cutting it. I scored the edges on the inside where I was going to bend them, and then hot glued the sides together. I then coated the entire little box in Mod-Podge to make it stronger. I did probably three or four coats, I wanted mine to stay around for a while.
I made some paper version of graham crackers too! For the bigger blocks of graham crackers, I started by coloring the template, and then coated it with clear tape (I found some at the dollar store!). When taping I tried to stay clear of the small tabs. I cut out the templates and then glued them together. For the small single pieces, I colored, taped, and then cut out the templates. I simply glued them together. Easy graham crackers!

Marshmallows
This was fun! I had been trying to figure out what to make the marshmallows out of, and then I realized I had some thick white foam and thought it would be perfect.
I cut out several squares and glued two of them together. I put some books on top of them to make sure they glued together and stuck well. After they were dry, I just cut around the edges and made them look more circular.
To make the bag, I used the bag pattern and cut out a piece of plastic bag (Ziploc or any brand). I folded the bag in half and taped it. I had it so the taped edge was in the bag and taped one of the sides. I added the marshmallows I made and taped the other side closed. Now you have a bag of marshmallows!

S-mores
Now that we have all of our s-mores supplies we need to make the s-mores! I used foam to make them. I cut out squares of tan foam and made indents in them. I then cut out pieces of chocolate to look similar to the chocolate bars I made. Then I cut pieces out of the thick foam I have and shaped it to resemble a marshmallow.
You can use the paper graham crackers as well! I was going to make some with paper, but I didn't get around to it.
Soda Box & Cans
When I go camping we always make sure to bring enough soda. It's our drink of choice while we out in the great outdoors, kinda silly, but tradition. I made a box that really holds the cans!
The box was pretty easy to make, just as before with the graham cracker box, I colored the template and then cut it out, but not perfectly. I glued it to the paper board and since this one was bigger, I put a few books on top to make it flat. After it was completely dry, I cut it out along the lines and then hot glued the sides together. I again Mod-Podged (or clear glue) the entire thing, with three or four coats again.
Box: Colored PDF Version / Outlined PDF Version
I made six cans, which meant I printed the template for the cans twice. I then colored the template and coated it with taped. Next I grabbed a toothpick and started to roll some scrap paper I had that was the height as the can templates. I kept rolling until it was the size I needed to be able to wrap the can template around the roll. I glued the top and bottoms of the can on with hot glue and they are complete!
