More About Badges

[smallhobbit]

A couple of weeks ago Doodles ordered the holiday badges some of the Brownies had been working for.  In the end, 11 did the Easter badge and 8 did the Eid badge, which I was pleased about.  And for one-third of the pack to have done at least one badge is good, given all the other stresses families are under at the moment.  Hopefully having something a bit different to do, with a badge as well, is helping in some way.

It's clear we won't be going back this term, so I suggested to Doodles I might produce another badge challenge.  This time we're looking at 'I've been creative'.  I'm suggesting eight different ways of being creative, of which the Brownies choose four.  Once again it's been a case of finding things which are easily available in the home, or are an extension of things which they may already be doing. 

The categories are:

• make a bookmark for your Brownie badge book, decorated with badges
• try some origami (suggestion attached if required)
• make a Thank You card
• do some mindfulness colouring (suggestion attached)
• write a story or poem, and decorate if you like
• make cakes or decorate biscuits
• do some sewing, knitting or crochet
• learn a new song, or play a new tune on an instrument

Also, last week, greatly to my surprise I had a card through the door from the District group to say thank you.  And inside was a badge!
