GS Christmas Party.

(12\1\11)Tonight is our Girl Scouts Christmas Party! We started out making a couple of ornaments for the girls to take home.

 

Then we had dinner...pasta from Pizza Hut.

 

Here are our supplies for wrapping presents.

 

I let the girls do the best they could cutting wrapping, and taping their gifts up, with little help from us. They did a pretty good job and had a lot of fun doing it.

 

Here is the finished project. Each girl brought a toy and a clothing item for a little girl 6 years old that may not have had a very big Christmas. We talked about this during the last meeting and this one too and I felt like the girls understood what we were doing, because they seem to all have a very big heart while doing it :)

 

They each earned a "festival of trees" patch and some of the requirements was to learn about how some others may celebrate Christmas, we learned about safety at Christmas time, we had to make and ornament and this was our "use resourses wisely", we used a grocery sack as wrapping paper and then the girls decorated it with hand prints.

 

Here it is.

 

Here are the ornaments I made each of the girls.
