Girl Scouts' 100th Anniversary Event: Part 5- Eco-Friendly Totes

This was a terrific idea!!  The girls used old shirts and turned them into reusable totes.  The most exciting part was that they each got to sew their own!  What fun!!

Girl Scouts' 100th Anniversary Event: Part 3- Cat Toys

Cat toys made from only children's tube socks.  These are a great idea for any cat, but especially for a cat with no home! 

The girls put cotton into cat nip and then packed the cotton/catnip into the sock.  Once the sock was full, they tied the tube part of the sock in a knot to secure.  Then, they used fabric markers to decorate them.

These socks were all donated to the Humane Society =)

Girl Scouts' 100th Anniversary Event: Part 2- Making Silly Putty

One of the stations the girls went to was a silly putty making station.  Talk about messy!!  Starch and glue- luckily it was all in a ziploc bag! 

Memory Books @ Michaels

If you have a Michaels Craft Store near you, you may want to get over there for some of their events.  They have events for children and adults.  They can give you lots of great ideas.  I love it there!  My girls do, too!!  Today we had the pleasure of attending on of the events for kids.  Jaden and Morgan got to make memory books out of paper bags.  Not only was it a fun event, but it gave us a great idea for more books!!  It was so easy.  The girls made some beautiful books, as you can see.  They are going to use them to put in their photos of the Girl Scouts 100th Anniversary Event they are going to tomorrow. 

They did these with small craft bags, but the bag possibilities are endless!  Imagine using the grocery size bags and making books.  Those would be great for trip memories. 

I wish I had the step by step instructions for you, but I couldn't find a link on the Michaels site.  I will have to find it later and add it.  =)
