Daisy Girl Scout Workshops (for kindergarten and first graders)
A field trip to The Scrap Box is a great way to introduce the concept of using resources wisely. Girls explore the 3Rs — reduce, reuse, and recycle — using our unique recycled materials.
Each workshop consists of 3 parts:
First, the Scrap Box presenter talks about our scrap materials, showing examples of what the product was that produced the scrap.
Second, the girls get some hands-on experience making their project, based on the try-it project chosen for that day. Girls are fully engaged in discovery, problem solving, and creativity; each girl's masterpiece will be unique.
Third, the girls go shopping in the large bulk room, filling a bag to take home.
Each workshop lasts one and one-half hours. The cost is $6.00 per girl, with a minimum charge per workshop of $75.00. Small troops often invite siblings along. There is no charge for adults unless they want to participate in making the project and/or shopping.
Suggested Project Choices:
Puppets: Make a stick puppet-- a person, animal, or imaginary creature -- using sticky back pieces as a base, along with a wealth of embellishments to choose from.
3-D Constructions: Use a combination of sticky- back foam pieces, paper tubes, mat board scraps, and a whole lot of other scraps available.
Collages: Use a sticky-back pad as a base, then select from a wide assortment of small pieces to arrange on that surface, considering color, pattern arrangement, and attractiveness.
Prints: Use sticky-back foam shapes to create simple printing stamps. Then experiment with design possibilities to create a pleasing pattern.
