Here's a quick hat craft/trader/swap for a Guide or Scout heading to camp.
Here's what you need:
- Shrinkydink paper
- Scissors
- Pencil Crayons
- Hole punch
- fishing line (or bead string)
- Beads (the sparkly-er the better)
- Safety Pins
Print out the saying - A Girl Guide Leaves a Little Sparkle Wherever She Goes - on to the shrinkydink paper. I've created a really basic template and you can Download Guide Swap, Sparkle here, or just create your own. I realized we printed on the wrong side (the rough side) so if possible print out the sayings on the shiny side of the paper.
Once you have printed the saying add your sparkle using pencil crayons. The kid opted for a rainbow/scribble/artistic feel for hers. It works, but if she makes more I'll be sure to get her to cover ever bit of the surface to avoid white spaces. Cut out and punch a hole in each one before placing on a parchment paper lined tray.
Bake according to the instructions on the package. Make sure to keep an eye on them while they are baking!
Once cooled, add the beads and the safety pin and you have your own Sparkle Swap!
