Kid’s First Aid Kits
A couple years back I crafted these cute little kits for the girls in my troop. We were planning and preparing for a camping trip and earning our Brownie First Aid badge. These are perfect for GS but also any little kid who likes to feel a little independence. Lets be real, what kid doesn't like playing with band aids?
Girl Scout Fortune Cookie Valentines
Valentine's Day is coming up! I love getting festive with the kids, even if it's a Hallmark holiday. It's just a great reminder to love one another... something this world could use more of. At our last troop meeting one of the girls mentioned the fortune cookie valentine and asked if we could make them. In the spirit of keeping it girl-led, I said of course!
I had to take it up a notch and make it Girl Scout themed so I created the little fortune strips that they could include in their cookie.. It has little Girl Scouts on them!!! So adorable!
Materials:
pencil
hot glue gun
scissors
craft foam (Dollar Tree had the hearts foam in a 12 pack!)
Printable Fortune strip
Step 1:
Use a circle template (about 5-6 inches in diameter) and trace your pattern.
Step 2:
Cut out your circle and the fortune strip.
Step 3:
Place your strip in the center of your circle and add a dab of hot glue at the bottom of the circle (like shown in the picture below).
Step 4:
Fold over your craft foam and hold lightly until the glue is secured.
Step 5:
Fold the half circle in half and use a dab of hot glue to secure.
Aren't these the cutest things you ever seen?
