This week was so much fun!
I was looking forward to it for the week. The start of our Creative Arts Fun badge. The task this week was to make sculptures from recycled materials.
I saved boxes from our family instead of putting them out in the recycling. My co-leader had tubes and boxes left over from an activity with her pippins and another leader had other little scoops leftover from something else.
We wrote 4 items on pieces of paper. Robot, Person, Car and Spaceship/UFO. Then in their sixes we had relay races. Running, hopping, jumping, star jumps etc the team with the most wins got to chose a piece of paper with their object on first.
They spent 2 minutes talking in their groups about what they wanted to do and how to do it. Then we tipped out the recycled materials and gave them all some tape (we rolled from a large roll of packing tape onto a plastic cup the teams could cut off what they needed as they needed it).
Team Robot – complete with backpack and homemade food items:
Team Person – complete with neck, arms, legs and skirt!
Team Car – complete with headlights, and number plates:
Team spaceship, complete with fire launcher on the back:
Overall, it was a great night. Next week the kids are going to try something new – painting ceramic cups that will be glaxed and fired, this is through a local business who does the glazing etc after the girls have painted them.
