Our girls Bridged over to Brownies! We celebrated in a special way by "baking" each of our Daisies into a Brownie. It was so much fun!<br />
<br />
We had a special "oven" made just for today. Each Daisy had a turn to enter the back of the oven. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjc54tddYp00lnCuinMWsdJA3twzk2ZZpzm3vgWxXrN6Wscahkcyqn6Qt5uf5gjSWBGVuBJMCwr8ooDlyWD07GY-bUV4eiIcZa3envM7Xm2LapqBJfYIs6WdDXCRWBQWhBRQLmIIkPwKHk/s1600/IMG_9017.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjc54tddYp00lnCuinMWsdJA3twzk2ZZpzm3vgWxXrN6Wscahkcyqn6Qt5uf5gjSWBGVuBJMCwr8ooDlyWD07GY-bUV4eiIcZa3envM7Xm2LapqBJfYIs6WdDXCRWBQWhBRQLmIIkPwKHk/s1600/IMG_9017.JPG" height="240" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
Inside the oven, was a new Brownie vest (purchased as a surprise with proceeds from selling cookies), which the Daisy would put on (and leave her Daisy vest behind). When she was ready, she rang a little bell (also inside the oven) to indicate she was done (Baked!). <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
We'd open the door and out popped a new fresh Brownie!<br />

The girls had voted for a pool party as their reward for participating in cookie sales this year. A part of the earnings from the cookies paid for admittance and snacks at the park.<br />

A couple of girls from a Junior sister-troop came to visit us. They talked with our girls about the things Girl Scouts can do as a Brownie. They also helped our troop make their sit-upons.<br />

<h3>
How to Make a Sit-Upon</h3>
A "<b>Sit-Upon</b>" is a homemade, usually waterproof pillow/pad used to protect your backside when you "sit upon" it on the ground. Here is how our troop made their sit-upons. Steps 1 - 5 were done ahead of our meeting so that our girls could spend their time stitching their pillows closed.<br />
<br />
Materials needed for each sit-upon:<br />
- Waterproof fabric<br />
- Plastic lace<br />
- Plastic grocery bag and stuffing (newsprint, more grocery bags, etc...)<br />
- Stickers for decoration.<br />
<br />
<br />
1. Start with a water-proof material. We used <a href="http://www.joann.com/oilcloth-black-dots-on-white/12292124.html" target="_blank">oilcloth fabric</a> from Jo-Ann store for our sit-upon.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvhWsQnWpelhZWqoELxJUXnLtjHKvYBGzTp4Y6LJSC3Oz0N9hGhI11ESxcj8Y6XgIld19Iikr2-XHz6YheNO9BIyqPUvWluRdbQMNltLS6rwUKdFSgwSPFno5YBDHumfpq0zCsAeJquNQ/s1600/IMG_8936.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvhWsQnWpelhZWqoELxJUXnLtjHKvYBGzTp4Y6LJSC3Oz0N9hGhI11ESxcj8Y6XgIld19Iikr2-XHz6YheNO9BIyqPUvWluRdbQMNltLS6rwUKdFSgwSPFno5YBDHumfpq0zCsAeJquNQ/s1600/IMG_8936.JPG" height="284" width="320" /></a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
2. Our fabric was 47" wide, so it was cut in half length-wise to make the each piece about 24" on one side. It was then cut again at 18".</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdTem1_S0gg6amb9S3cPuiuSA3IjjBp1B_DU1DkRMwmk9pL3Xk6YYg-sfXQlVMzVHRdBdWVcIL1eZyKHVWo5i0RK7_ESB2FwQ1eHh-J-suyXK94PlztU9TACezH0jlLkU_oiERL-tjfKI/s1600/IMG_8938.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdTem1_S0gg6amb9S3cPuiuSA3IjjBp1B_DU1DkRMwmk9pL3Xk6YYg-sfXQlVMzVHRdBdWVcIL1eZyKHVWo5i0RK7_ESB2FwQ1eHh-J-suyXK94PlztU9TACezH0jlLkU_oiERL-tjfKI/s1600/IMG_8938.JPG" height="240" width="320" /></a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
3. So each of our sit-upons was made with a piece of oilcloth 24" x 18".<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixhckfgcj8-BUhVi1YQR4TSKgEZiCL8gYZuiMRHTZxz_5zhYkPgiAELKIdUaEjbxp0xgwzWweuRQrTSP90PXRkQgLUWdAW5BZXOnrqNWBiCNS1VKduTZSl1pNStZPXAHYB_JJghvioXME/s1600/IMG_8939.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixhckfgcj8-BUhVi1YQR4TSKgEZiCL8gYZuiMRHTZxz_5zhYkPgiAELKIdUaEjbxp0xgwzWweuRQrTSP90PXRkQgLUWdAW5BZXOnrqNWBiCNS1VKduTZSl1pNStZPXAHYB_JJghvioXME/s1600/IMG_8939.JPG" height="240" width="320" /></a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
4. Fold the piece of oilcloth in half along the 24" side to make a pillow finished size 12" x 18". You will then have three open sides of the pillow to stitch close.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
5. Use a hole punch (I have a small-size hole punch) and punch a series of holes around the open edges of the sit-upon. I held the front & back open edges together with the hole punch so the holes all lined up.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
-- The above steps where done ahead-of-time for the girls to save time during our meeting. -- </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
6. Use a piece of plastic <a href="http://www.rexlaceclub.com/" target="_blank">Rexlace</a> or gimp to stitch the pillow closed. Tie a knot at the first hole, and loop the lace through the holes, going around the <b>two</b> sides of the pillow. Do not stitch the third side of the pillow closed yet.</div>

<br />
Our girls learned ways to stay safe today. They worked on the three steps to earn their Daisy Safety Award.<br />
<br />
1. Understand what to do if you get lost. The girls filled out a <a href="http://www.123homeschool4me.com/2012/09/free-name-address-cards.html" target="_blank">worksheet to practice their phone number and address</a>. We also talked about who is safe to ask for help (police office, teacher, another mom).<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
2. Understand what to do if your friend is choking. We went over the Heimlich maneuver and colored a worksheet that showed how to <a href="http://www.wikihow.com/Help-a-Choking-Victim" target="_blank">help a friend who is choking</a>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
3. Learn how to "<a href="http://www.nfpa.org/safety-information/for-public-educators/education-programs/learn-not-to-burn/learn-not-to-burn-grade-1/know-when-to-stop-drop-and-roll" target="_blank">Stop, Drop & Roll</a>" if your clothing catches on fire. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The girls were already familiar with this technique, and they were more than happy to demonstrate. I finally remembered to get the camera out. :-) </div>

Dr. Kelly Morgan of <a href="http://www.morganorthodontics.com/" target="_blank">Morgan Orthondontics</a> hosted our girls.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpQbcRIL1zeywlAGml3AEIyOlTrjN05Ak8C73890Iqbq6ouHuMsp5iDPP7SZ9iwIpBr4BFsjwV3xy7LMpbRXpXT_UIpNRurznE5T5IHe5vz3du9gcRR5W-n9KudnqoUTRi8uX5qm3fZz4/s1600/IMG_0392.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpQbcRIL1zeywlAGml3AEIyOlTrjN05Ak8C73890Iqbq6ouHuMsp5iDPP7SZ9iwIpBr4BFsjwV3xy7LMpbRXpXT_UIpNRurznE5T5IHe5vz3du9gcRR5W-n9KudnqoUTRi8uX5qm3fZz4/s1600/IMG_0392.JPG" height="239" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
First thing we did was learn about what an Orthodontist is and what one does for their patients. We took a tour of her office. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxnTDFpPP4TjpLi5aRpNpDFF9KIz4QsJJfZ85m1rrfe8GCjdI6mDCbA3KsAHNYg8Dm1VSBAX45TJlR-ey3ItSxg2-wNZ5VOBCAQHESeDUmVoYlk-Ey7p0Aiwbd2hBc_1KBOkuv2x2CImM/s1600/IMG_0397.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxnTDFpPP4TjpLi5aRpNpDFF9KIz4QsJJfZ85m1rrfe8GCjdI6mDCbA3KsAHNYg8Dm1VSBAX45TJlR-ey3ItSxg2-wNZ5VOBCAQHESeDUmVoYlk-Ey7p0Aiwbd2hBc_1KBOkuv2x2CImM/s1600/IMG_0397.jpg" height="320" width="239" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
We got to see how impressions of someone's teeth are made and used to fit braces and retainers. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuOjkfrR2HY9NoBWt-Zgo8aKfou83eDEG6ZEFSxKknyJILCyvWs8QVBDqmHzQQRSKN3Stie9p6IYn0Br2eh5skVsiMu71h60ZtSzdh_7ld-taW7tW3vRKJBSdpCZqWkgK_ah4YLks94d0/s1600/IMG_0400.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuOjkfrR2HY9NoBWt-Zgo8aKfou83eDEG6ZEFSxKknyJILCyvWs8QVBDqmHzQQRSKN3Stie9p6IYn0Br2eh5skVsiMu71h60ZtSzdh_7ld-taW7tW3vRKJBSdpCZqWkgK_ah4YLks94d0/s1600/IMG_0400.JPG" height="239" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Each girl then got a plastic vampire teeth set to make their own mold.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
The girls were so excited to take their own vampire teeth home with them. They had lots of questions for Dr. Morgan before our tour finished.<br />
<br />
Each girl got to take home a Dental Health fun patch for the back of their Girl Scout vest.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

We had planned to do the Daisy Safety Award pin, but will plan that for a meeting in May.<br />
<br />
Our next meeting will be a field trip to the orthodontist to learn about dental health. Should be fun!<br />

Each girl received a copy of the Petal Power and Follow the Honeybee's Trail Daisy activity pages from the <a href="http://forgirls.girlscouts.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/Barbie_Booklet_English_2.pdf" target="_blank">Barbie I Can Be booklet</a>. We reviewed these activities, and also talked about all of the different jobs we learned about from our <a href="http://troop1138.blogspot.com/2014/02/costco-fieldtrip.html">field trip</a> to the Costco warehouse.<br />

<br />
After carefully cutting out these dolls and their stands, the girls received a copy of papers containing career outfits. There was one page of career outfits in the Barbie booklet, and a <a href="http://forgirls.girlscouts.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/Printable_Barbie_PaperDolls2.pdf" target="_blank">separate pdf file</a> of more outfits. The separate file of outfits are in black and white to allow the girls to color their own career outfits. We talked about what these different career outfits were all about. The girls each cut out their favorite profession outfit for their doll.<br />

The girls were able to take these pages home to continue coloring and cutting at home if desired. They also went home with a copy of the Go Online page from the Barbie booklet to learn more about inspiring women at home.<br />

The girls went home with their own Barbie patch today. Only one patch <a href="http://forgirls.girlscouts.org/icanbe/patch/" target="_blank">may be requested at a time</a> from the Girl Scouts, so we had each mom order a patch for their daughter ahead of time so that we would have them in time for today's meeting.

Again!Winter has given us many snow storms this year. Just when we thought we were clear for Spring, we've got another round of snow to cause school cancellations. We were to do our <a href="http://forgirls.girlscouts.org/beanything/" target="_blank">Barbie I Can Be...</a> patch at today's meeting, and we will just wait until our next meeting on the 18th to do them. See you then!<br />

The store's manager, Mr. Keith, gave the girls the grand tour of all of the departments and jobs that make up this membership warehouse. Each child received a Costco name badge with their name on it. Mr. Keith told them this would be their orientation to the warehouse, as if they were a real employee.<br />
<br />

<br />
We started at the Customer Service Desk, and headed to the Tire Center, then thru the main entrance to the Photo Center then the Optical Center. We stopped in at each department to learn a little about how it is run. Mr. Keith explained how Costco stores, tracks and displays their merchandise, and how employees maintain the appearance of the warehouse. <br />

We continued through warehouse to the back of the store where the Bakery is located. Mr. Keith explained how much the bakery department produces every day. We even got to sample free cookies while here.<br />

We had our meeting to celebrate Valentine's and recognize <a href="https://www.girlscouts.org/who_we_are/global/world_thinking_day/" target="_blank">World Thinking Day</a> this month. The girls created Valentine critters to send to two troops. We are exchanging care packages with Troop 5029 in San Diego, California, and with <a href="http://www.gstroop344.org/" target="_blank">Troop 344</a> in McDonald, Ohio.<br />

We packed up the notes, a letter about our troop, the critters and some goodies for our Girl Scout friends. We then got to open the care packages we've received from them. The girls were so excited to open the packages and read about their GS friends across the country.<br />

Schools are closed today - in anticipation of the 8" of snow that is expected, and the deep freeze that will follow. Our meeting today is cancelled today as well. We were to work on our Valentine / World Thinking Day exchange with a troop in San Diego and another troop in Ohio. We will work on that at our next meeting instead. Hopefully, the snow will not be falling on our meeting day next time. <br />
<br />
We did get our cookie order in. Since this is our first year for all the girls to sell cookies, and our troop is relatively small, we had a troop goal to sell 100 boxes. We actually sold <b>372</b> cookies! Our troop did really well and greatly exceed their goal. Congrats to our girls! They will vote later on what they would like to do with a portion of their proceeds.<br />

<br />
We got to work on our Count It Up Leaf. Our Cookie Sales season is starting and this will be our first year for us to sell cookies. Our council is a Super-Six Council with cookies this season - that means we are only selling the top six types of GS cookies. <br />

</tbody></table>
Our cookies sell for $4 per box, so we worked with the girls to learn to figure out how much multiple boxes cost, and how to make change for their customers. We helped the girls complete the questions on the back of their <a href="http://gouldspace.com/1138/docs/CookieMoney%202013.pdf" target="_blank">Cookie Worksheet</a> to help them understand. If you would like to modify the worksheet for your own needs, download the Word doc version <a href="http://gouldspace.com/1138/docs/CookieMoney%202013.doc" target="_blank">here</a>.<br />
<br />
We then practiced selling cookies by role-playing. The girls would take turns knocking on a closed door and practice selling cookies to Michelle when she opened it. <br />
<br />

</tbody></table>
<br />
Some of the girls even pretended to be kids at a house who would help their mom choose cookies to buy!<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Which cookies are your favorite?</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<br />
We then decided on a goal for our upcoming cookie sales. Since we've never sold cookies before, and know that some girls may sell much more than others, we came up with a troop sales goal of 100 boxes. We used a copy of an example goal chart from a page in the GS Daisy Guide.<br />
<br />

We followed the the first two activities outlined in the Daisy GS Guide. We laid out different coins and discussed their value and how they equate to paper denominations.

The girls were given <a href="http://gouldspace.com/1138/docs/Budget%20Cards.pdf" target="_blank">Budget Cards</a> (also found from troop Troop 500) worksheets to take home. Their assignment was to price out the cost of a few activities that we could do as a troop with the cookie money we will be earning. Their parents would assist them with this.<br />

Today's meeting was a Birthday Party celebration in honor ouf Girl Scout Founder, Juliette Gordon Low. Her birthday is October 31, but our troop will not meet again before her bday, so we celebrated it a little early. ☺<br />
<br />
First we had our <a href="http://www.sylviasstitches.com/2013/10/easy-peasy-pumpkin-cake-mix-cupcakes.html" target="_blank">Easy-Peasy Pumpkin CakeMix</a> Cupcakes. The girls loved them!<br />

A Kim's game is where you show several objects to represent a story. After the story is read, an item is removed from the display, and the girls would have to guess what was missing. The girls have a great memory because they were good at this game.<br />
<br />

<br />
We made small stuffed pumpkins today for the fall season and for Juliette's birthday being the same day as Halloween. A small plate was used as a template to cut circles of orange fabric before the meeting. During the Kim's game, the moms helped by running some thread around the edge of the fabric circles. We didn't want any little fingers getting poked by a needle during our activity. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
Each girl was given a couple spoons of beans for weight on the bottom of the pumpkin and plenty of fluff they could pick and stuff inside. We then cinched up the pumpkins a bit and put some glue inside the hole on top and stuck a branch inside. Then the thread was pulled taught and secured.<br />

We welcomed everyone back, and got to work on our new Kaper Chart. A <i>Kaper</i> in Girl Scouts is a job or task. To give the girls a little more responsibility in their troop, they each will have a job or kaper assigned to them at each meeting. The jobs rotate at each meeting.<br />
<br />
The theme for our kaper chart is <a href="http://gouldspace.com/pics/tent7.gif" target="_blank">camping</a>, because Girl Scout love to camp. We used part of a trifold foam board that was leftover from a prior school project. There are sleeping bags on our chart, each with a job on it. (Click <a href="http://gouldspace.com/docs/sleeping%20bags.docx" target="_blank">here</a> to download a Word doc of the sleeping bags.) The bags were taped/laminated onto the board, and a slit cut for an opening in each bag to make it a pocket.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
The girls were each given a <a href="http://www.makingfriends.com/friends/f_pick_freinds_color.htm" target="_blank">friend</a>, printed on cardstock, in need of her <a href="http://www.makingfriends.com/friends/f_scouts.htm" target="_blank">GS uniform</a>. We had some Daisy uniform pages printed, and the girls cut out the <a href="http://www.makingfriends.com/friends/f_pick_hair.htm" target="_blank">hair</a> and <a href="http://www.makingfriends.com/friends/f+daisy.htm" target="_blank">clothes</a> to represent themselves and glued them on to their paper doll. These little dolls were also laminated for durability and ease of sliding in and out of the sleeping bag pockets. Each doll friend went into a sleeping bag.<br />
<br />
The jobs we have so far are:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>- Snack Assistant</li>
<li>- Flag Holder </li>
<li>- Pledge Leader</li>
<li>- Friendship Circle Starter</li>
<li>- Kaper Chart (rotates the jobs at the end of the meeting for next time)</li>
</ul>
<br />
We have a few open sleeping bags on our chart to allow our troop to grow. As we get new girls in our troop, we will have a new job added to an open bag. ☺<br />

We met with the fire fighters who work at the station. We hung out in their kitchen and lounge to start. The fire fighters talked to the kids about fire safety and what to do in an emergency. We then got a tour of the fire station including the living areas where the fire fighters sleep when they stay overnight. <br />

We signed up for our town's annual beautification campaign to "<a href="http://www.leesburgva.gov/index.aspx?page=1138" target="_blank">Keep Leesburg Beautiful</a>". We even had some sibling brothers come along and help with the clean up!<br />
<br />
We chose to clean up the elementary school grounds. Our town provided the safety vests, gloves, and trash bags for the kids to do their work.<br />

After our clean-up, we read a letter to our troop from another Daisy troop in Rogers, Arkansas. We had made some <a href="http://troop1138.blogspot.com/2013/02/be-sister-to-every-girl-scout.html">goodies for them previously</a> as an exchange for "Being a Sister to Every Girl Scout". We got to learn a little bit about where this troop was from and the area where they live. Then each girl received a little goodie bag with their name on it from the Arkansas troop. They were so excited!!<br />

<br />
Our first activity was to reuse the empty toilet paper rolls to make seedling planters. The girls came to the meeting with toilet paper rolls and a shoe box to carry their project home. This activity took longer than expected, so we didn't get to the other activity today.<br />
<br />
First cut the paper rolls in half.<br />
<br />

Cut four slits in the bottom, and fold like a box. See TUTORIAL below...<br />

The first was called <i>Being Fair</i> by Mary Small. This books gives different examples of what being fair means in different situations.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.syndetics.com/index.aspx?type=xw12&isbn=140481051X/LC.GIF&client=loudp&upc=&oclc=ocm58468557" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="199" src="http://www.syndetics.com/index.aspx?type=xw12&isbn=140481051X/LC.GIF&client=loudp&upc=&oclc=ocm58468557" width="200" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
The second story was <i>Ruthie and the (Not So) Teeny Tiny Lie</i> by Laura Rankin. This was a great story of a little girl, and how she feels and deals with telling a little lie.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.syndetics.com/index.aspx?type=xw12&isbn=9781599900100/LC.GIF&client=loudp&upc=&oclc=ocm69593875" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://www.syndetics.com/index.aspx?type=xw12&isbn=9781599900100/LC.GIF&client=loudp&upc=&oclc=ocm69593875" width="179" /></a></div>
<br />
Before the meeting, I bought several items from the local dollar store - stampers, candy, balls, barrettes, small toys. To help the girls understand how to be fair, we gave each girl a goodie bag. Some of the goodie bags were stuffed full to the top, and some others just had a few little items. We sat in a circle and went around as each girl opened their bag and shared what they received. It was quite clear that the goodie bags were not equal in their contents. After obvious disappointment from the girls who didn't receive the big loot bags, we talked about what we could do to make things fair. The girls all thought they could share their stuff with everyone. We went through each type of item and pooled them together for each girl to take turns picking an item. All the girls were super happy to get equal amounts of goodies to keep.<br />
<br />
What was great was that even before we discussed how to balance the loot, there was some sharing from a girl who had a big stash to her neighbor Daisy who didn't receive much. <br />
<br />
We then made<a href="http://www.sylviasstitches.com/2013/03/kids-st-patricks-craft.html" target="_blank"> Leprechaun Finger Puppets</a> for St. Patrick's Day. This was a lot of fun for the girls, although they needed some help with the glue.<br />

We talked about different ways they could be friendly and helpful at home and at school. We then helped the girls make Daisy Helping Hands coupon booklets. <br />

Each girl had a <a href="http://gouldspace.com/1138/docs/Friendly%20Helpful%20Coupons.pdf" target="_blank">Helping Hands Coupons sheet</a> to cut apart. (If you want to modify your own Helping Hand coupons, here is our <a href="http://gouldspace.com/1138/docs/Friendly%20Helpful%20Coupons.docx" target="_blank">Word doc version</a>.) The coupons were each glued on a piece of construction paper.<br />

The girls punched a hole in each card, and we helped them tie them together to make a coupon book.<br />

For our second activity, we made our own version of <a href="http://www.makingfriends.com/scouts/daisy_help.htm" target="_blank">Helping Hands Calling cards</a>. Each time they do an act of kindness, they can leave their calling card behind. <br />
<br />

</tbody></table>
<br />
The girls had a <a href="http://gouldspace.com/1138/docs/helping%20hands.pdf" target="_blank">sheet of hand prints</a>, and a sheet of <a href="http://gouldspace.com/1138/docs/Helping%20Hand%20Calling%20Card.pdf" target="_blank">Helping Hands Calling cards</a> 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 <a href="http://www.makingfriends.com/color/color_daisy_helpful.htm" target="_blank">Calling Card coloring sheet</a>.<br />
<br />
We sent the girls home with our own version of a <a href="http://www.makingfriends.com/scouts/daisy_deed_counter.htm" target="_blank">Kindness Keeper</a>. 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 <a href="http://www.michaels.com/" target="_blank">Michaels</a>). <br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Sample Kindness Keeper</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<br />
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. <span style="font-size: large;">☺</span><br />
