Friendly and Helpful
Each girl had a Helping Hands Coupons sheet to cut apart. (If you want to modify your own Helping Hand coupons, here is our Word doc version.) The coupons were each glued on a piece of construction paper.

For our second activity, we made our own version of Helping Hands Calling cards. Each time they do an act of kindness, they can leave their calling card behind.

The girls had a sheet of hand prints, and a sheet of Helping Hands Calling cards to cut. (We had pre-cut the hands as circle-shaped pieces before the meeting.) The girls colored the hands, and glued one to each of their cards. They took these cards home along with a Calling Card coloring sheet.
We sent the girls home with our own version of a Kindness Keeper. We cut a 2"x18" strip of white craft foam, and wrote the girl's name on the bottom of their strip. We punched a hole at the top, reinforced it with hole reinforcement labels, and tied a piece of plastic lace to it. We gave each girl a pack of daisy gems (found in the $1 bins at Michaels).

The girls are to hang their Kindness Keeper from a door or cabinet. Each time they do a good deed, they get to stick a daisy gem on their keeper. It make a pretty display of their kindness. ☺

Be A Sister to Every Girl Scout
First, we had a little Valentine fun, and decorated sugar cookies with pink icing and Valentine-inspired decors. The best part was eating them, of course.

We handed out the goodie bags we received from Troop 344 in Ohio. We had made the Ohio troop Valentine cards at our last meeting. This tied in well to our being a sister to other Girl Scout theme for today.
We had a request to do an exchange with anther Daisy troop in Arkansas. So today, the girls made little critter bookmarks to send to this troop.

The final task for today was to write notes to the girls in this troop. We will bundle the cards and critters, and a couple other goodies, along with some information about our Virginia locality to send to this troop.

The girls earned their violet petal patch today for all their hard work. We definitely needed all mothers' helping hands for today's activities.
