Dolly Daycare and the Creative Cookie Club

Me and my sisters are organizing both a daycare and club for our dollies. We have the Dolly Daycare where our babies go to play and learn. Then we have the Creative Cookie Club where my older dolls join together to study and learn independently; they do activities, fulfill goals, encourage creativity, study specific subjects, and more! Camille is head of the CCC and new members need to sign up with her. The club is kind of like the Girl Scouts. We have fundraisers/baking sales, special events and ceremonies, monthly competitions (sign up with CP Camille) and prizes, parties/celebrations, study/research time (featuring chosen subject of the day), task lists/homework, etc. New badges will be given out for certain accomplishments. Depending on points and badges, Camille will choose a VP. Camille was the original founder of the club, therefore the official club president.

Creative Cookie Club Meetings/Schedule (may vary):
-8am (could change to an earlier time): Meet at the designated spot for the club and wear our badges. We will listen to music and get pumped for the day. Check our calendar and see what day it is (example: Mystery Monday!)
-8:30am: Assign tasks/give out check lists, randomly choose goals/study subject/theme from our box, share new ideas, etc.
-9:00am: Work on our goals/tasks, gather ingredients for our bake sale (we will be making special CCC cookies), get dressed/ready according to theme of the day (or day in the life of), start research on our new study subject or continue research on a study subject.
-10:00: Break time/meet up again in the afternoon

For the Days of the Week Themes:
Mystery Monday- Give a mystery gift to a friend (could be handmade), open a mystery toy package (Shopkins, Mochi Monsters, etc.), try to solve the mystery of the day (example: Who ate the cookies?)

Treasure Tuesday- Go on a scavenger hunt (find treasures/mementos), collect things to do a project with, revisit an old gem (cartoon, movie, toy, etc.) or find a new one.

Weird Wednesday- Do something out of the ordinary, wake up super early, make care packages for kids in need, create a 4am club where we eat breakfast and watch the sun rise, gather toys and things for kids in need (promote resourcefulness), embrace our weirdness (strange hobbies, likes, etc.) and have everyone talk about what they like about their 'strange hobby' and why (also help each other embrace it and our unique individuality as well as realize that there are others out there that share our same passions/hobbies), make a list of things we do or like that we think are weird (or are socially regarded as such) and list the pros and cons of having that particular hobby.

Thoughtful Thursday- Do good deeds, pick up litter, consider our planet (mini Earth Day) and help care for it (although we do this every day, but today we are just emphasizing on it), clean our house, fulfill someone's wish (Emily wants to go exploring in the woods), write down something we are thankful for and add it to our tree of thanks (project we will be working on).

Foodie Friday (sometimes Freaky Friday)- We will bake/cook something we have decided on together (from recipe book, online, ect.), take pictures of our creation and post them on doll page/blog, have dolls pose with toy food (or real food) for picture taking, find recipes and write down ideas for our own (custom) recipes like "Chocolate Goomba Cupcakes" from my blog Pixel Pastries(although it will later all be featured on my YT page as a channel about recipe, gaming, doll playing, etc.).


Dolly Daycare Schedule Monday through Friday (may vary):
-7am (some babies get dropped off later but this is the earliest): Breakfast (if they didn't finish at home) and nursery rhymes
-7:30am: Play time/social circle (babies are free to bring their own toys to play with however sharing will be encouraged)
From 8am-10am babies will be monitored while we attend the CCC meeting.
-Rest of the Schedule to be added later-

Art Day!-
Babies will be encouraged to color and create something. Since Thanksgiving is underway, we will be doing Autumn crafts (which we will be looking up and making a list of), the older girls will participate as well with a little more mature projects, children will be given coloring books and or paper to draw on (Sophie has a Hello Kitty coloring book), we will get creative with decorating for the season/upcoming holidays, etc.

Also work on ideas for crafts/DIY: The windows and fireplace for our doll studio, cartoon/video game additions to our house, etc.

Bake Sale!-
The Creative Cookie Club will be having a bake sale on November 25! Each member of the club will be assigned an ingredient to bring, required for participation (if you cannot afford or supply an ingredient for a valid reason then we can make an exception). We will meet a little earlier than our original time (8am); we will be meeting at 6:30am instead. Coem into the kitchen and place your ingredient on the table before taking a seat. We will go over the recipe together (custom made); these are special Creative Cookie Club Cookies and our secret recipes are confidential (only club members should know). Each member will have a task assigned, example: preheating the oven, adding the ingredients, mixing the batter, decorating the cookies, etc. Afterwards we will place the cookies in containers and get them ready to sale/distribute for charity. Donations will be gladly accepted; we will have a jar that you can kindly drop what you're willing to help with into (we can even scrape up change around the house, get creative). We will decorate our bake sale stand with pictures of our cookies and there will also be complimentary coffee. Bake sale starts at 8am in the plaza (corner of living room).
