  • 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!
