Campfire and marshmallows for American Girl doll

  See my other free Native American tutorials

 

What you need

  • cardboard (6" x 6")
  • brown or green felt (6" x 6")
  • rocks
  • sticks
  • LED tea light
  • white Sculpey or FEMO for the marshmallows

 

 How to make the campfire

1. Draw a circle with a 6" diameter onto the cardboard and cut out
2. Glue felt on top and bottom of cardboard circle, let dry, then cut felt to match circle
3. Take rocks and glue around the edge of the circle, let dry
4. Take the LED tea light and set in middle
5. Optional you can wrap some very thin yellow and/or orange tissue paper around it to hide the tea light and make it look like flames
5. Cut some sticks and scatter around, build a pyramid with the sticks around the tea light

You are done !!!


How to make the marshmallows


We took a small stick that was forked and cut it to size (about 7" total length), then we used white Sculpey/FEMO and made 2 small cylinders and poked them on the tips of the forked stick.
You can dust a little brown or black chalk powder to some of the sides to make it look roasted.
Bake it and you have campfire marshmallows on a stick  !!!!
