http://www.girlscoutguide.com/?p=587 This is an all-ages project, suitable for both young girls and still a fun, quick project for older girls.  These instructions on aimed more for younger girls, but older girls can easily also do this project with access to more craft supplies to snazzy up their key chains a bit more.   This can easily be [...]]]>

for older Brownie and Junior troops, ages 9-12.  It’s a little messy, so make sure you have smocks or spare crafting shirts to cover up a bit.  You should not use a toaster oven for this project that you actively cook in – it’s [...]]]> http://www.girlscoutguide.com/2010/06/clay-heart-necklace/feed/ 1 http://www.girlscoutguide.com/2010/06/summer-sand-bucket-water-bottle/

and more of a decoration and personalization craft.  This is IDEAL for a Daisy troop… perfect for that young age range, not very messy, and no real construction required.  This can easily be completed in a 30 minute meeting.  Depending on the size of your troop, [...]]]> http://www.girlscoutguide.com/2010/06/summer-sand-bucket-water-bottle/feed/ 0 http://www.girlscoutguide.com/2010/06/pinwheels/

pretty well but older girls might be a bit disappointed that they don’t work perfectly but they’re still awesome!  That doesn’t really matter since, in my experience, pinwheels are really a toy more suited for younger girls anyway.  You can spice up the [...]]]> http://www.girlscoutguide.com/2010/06/pinwheels/feed/ 0 http://www.girlscoutguide.com/2010/06/gods-eyes/

what they’ve always been referred to as long as I’ve known how to do them.  The project originates in Mexico and Bolivia and is known in Spanish as Ojo de Dios, which translates to God’s Eye.  These

It’s a great project for the girls to create small bouquets to give to their mothers, sisters, or anyone special to them.  The colors of paint suggested make a nice light palette, but feel free to use different colors to coordinate with the holiday or [...]]]> http://www.girlscoutguide.com/2010/05/egg-carton-flowers/feed/ 0 http://www.girlscoutguide.com/2010/05/craft-stick-picture-frame/

Daisy scouts, and can be completed in a 30 minute meeting.  It can be messy, so make sure the girls have old t-shirts that are okay to get paint on or smocks.  You can also use a permanent marker to write messages on the craft sticks, like [...]]]> http://www.girlscoutguide.com/2010/05/craft-stick-picture-frame/feed/ 0 http://www.girlscoutguide.com/2010/04/square-foam-candle-holder/

and “candle” don’t typically belong in the same sentence!  But in this case, there is actually a glass candle holder between the glass and the foam.  This is a great project for older girls who are more likely to be allowed to burn candles at [...]]]> http://www.girlscoutguide.com/2010/04/square-foam-candle-holder/feed/ 0 http://www.girlscoutguide.com/2010/04/wall-names/

beyond personalizing a room!  Kids, especially creative girls, love to put a personal touch on things.  With the permission of the parents, this is a great project for girls to help decorate their bedrooms or playrooms.  I suggest 7″ letters as they [...]]]> http://www.girlscoutguide.com/2010/04/wall-names/feed/ 0 http://www.girlscoutguide.com/2010/04/ice-candles/

of the super easiest!  It sticks out in my memory because we made traditional dipped candles every year at camp, but this was something new and different.
