Here are a few craft ideas we're thinking of:
Felt Trees:
These are on sale on etsy. so there aren't instructions, but I think they're self-explanatory. I'm thinking about cutting out, stuffing and gluing the trees together, then having the girls do the decorative stitching and sew on the buttons -- both for time's sake and because I don't think most of them have sewing skills yet.
Bird Feeders:
Instructions are here. I love bird feeders for winter! And I think it encourages a love of nature and wildlife that's a great part of scouting.
Clear Globe Ornaments:
So many ways to go with clear ornaments. The snowman directions are here...but you can also do a snowy landscape w/ fake snow and mini pinecones and greenery...or you can put glitter and poms in there...or beads...or have the girls bring in small trinkets to create a keepsake ornament. Or you could just decorate the outside with glitter glue and/or paint instead.
I think we're going to go with the felt trees because I like the idea of the girls learning a new skill (sewing -- and they get a Fun Patch to boot!).
Anyone else have ideas for winter Girl Scout crafts or activities? You can also check out more on my scouting pinterest page.
