Alice in Wonderland - Primary Day Camp

Our stake Primary had a Day Camp for Activity Day Girls (ages 8-11). Our theme was Alice in Wonderland – "Decisions Do Determine Destiny" (Thomas S. Monson).

I didn't find a whole lot of Alice in Wonderland ideas on the internet so I had to recreate a lot of the files myself. I don't mind sharing – if you use any of the files (or would like source files), just let me know.
