That's me finished for the Brownies 2021
Last week we were supposed to be teaching the Brownies some basic first aid, but with Doodles off sick, Flamingo decided that we'd do something simpler, so we handed out some card and told them to make a Christmas card, using felt tips and various craft materials. It might seem like a really basic activity, but they all enjoyed the opportunity to sit down and be creative. And when they had completed their card we suggested they create a decoration, they were all enthusiastic.
This week they were decorating biscuits. They began by making up and decorating the boxes to take their biscuits home and then they were given four plain biscuits and a variety of icing pens (red, white and green) and sprinkles (snowflakes, gold stars, Christmas trees and hundreds and thousands) and allowed to let their imagination run wide. This was a very popular activity - it's something we've done in the past, relatively easy and again the Brownies enjoy it.
Their party is next week, but we're on grandparent duty so I won't be there.
There are times when we wonder whether our efforts are worthwhile, and then there are others, like yesterday, when one of the Brownies brought slices of her birthday cake in for the leaders and we're reminded that it does make a difference.
