Although the updates on this blog have been sparse, we have been continuing to do fun things in our meetings. The girls are closing in on finishing another couple of badges before the end of the year, and, we are spending time discussing the upcoming encamporee.
We have finished all but one of the painting activities, using puffy pain to 'paint our emotion'. The puffy paint (made with shaving cream and food coloring) was a pretty big hit, and the girls got creative making peaks and shapes.
One day we had snack straight from Pike Place market - two kids of apples, a pear, some star fruit to try, and a kumquat. About half of the girls really like their kumquats, the other half didn't care from them. I was surprised the the pear was the least popular fruit.
We have spent two days working on the insect badge. One day we went to the playground, and found bugs. The following we we learned something about the bugs we had found, and also made a bug craft out of paper plates. There were some creative insects, including ones with multi-part bodies or moving designs.
I know this wasn't intentional, but "...using puffy pain to 'paint our emotion'" struck me as incredibly funny. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for all you do for our girls!
