  • Ornament Ideas for Girl Scouts (Brownies)

    QUESTION

    Hi Kas,
    I am the assistant leader for my daughter's Brownie troop. For Christmas we always make decorations and decorate the trees for the local library and courthouse.

    I need ideas for ornaments for the girls to make. We need at least 2 for each girl, something in the age range of 1st-3rd graders, nothing too pricey to make. We really would like to try to integrate their sewing patch in this. I would greatly appreciate any help you can give me.

    Thanks a bunch!

  • The Thanksgiving Tree

    A Thanksgiving tree can be drawn, cut out and hung up on the wall. Then cut out leaves in fall colors to add to the tree. The fun part is writing something that you are thankful for on each of the leaves. Be sure to include everyone in the fun, even the pizza delivery boy!

  • Creative Kids Make Gifts

    All kids are creative. Just observe their wonder in playing with sand or old boxes or pots and pans. Some latest toys, no matter how colorful and fancy, attempt to be too much and do too much. Yet, give kids just basic craft supplies and they discover, all by themselves, an endless joy of creating something new out of almost nothing. Creativity is such an important pleasure for children and for all of us.
