I was asked to organise a couple of craft activities for a Brownie Sleepover my daughter was running for 16 girls last Saturday. I bought some inexpensive notebooks for the Brownies to decorate and I made up a sample. After choosing the colour of notebook and doily they wanted, they assembled the punched out pieces of the owl. I taught them how to fold and tuck the die cut doilies and they decorated the label with their name. These are some of the finished notebooks. I also took along my Big Shot and Puzzle Maker and the girls enjoyed making a double sided puzzle.

I used snippets for everything to decorate the notebooks, so I'll be sharing my decorated notebook over in the Playground.
I am joining in the following challenges:
A great way to entertain and encourage the Brownies, takes me back years helping Brown Owl (eldest Daughter).

What a lovely activity for the Brownies and I bet they were thrilled with their 'Brown Owl' notebooks. Nice to see that punch in action.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous and fun idea Liz, I bet the brownies loved making these cute little notebooks xx
ReplyDeleteYou must have been delighted with how well these little notebooks turned out Liz, didn't they do well! It was a great idea, and I'm sure the girls loved the activity as well as the result- brings back memories of my days as a Beaver Scout leader...happy days!

I was a Tawny Owl for many years. Lots of happy memories of taking Brownies on Pack Holiday. xx
DeleteWhat a lovely idea for a fun sleepover for your daughter's brownie pack Liz, and they made a great job of assembling the pretty doilies and nameplate on the fronts of them. I love yours too with that lovely blue colour notebook which contrasts beautifully with the white doily and nameplate, and of course that cute owl. x
ReplyDeleteHow fun, and what a great job they all did!
ReplyDeleteReally super idea Liz - the little ones did very well with their notebooks. Took me back to Brownie days, I still have my tie clip/badge in the button tin here! Brave to have 16 for a sleepover - I bet they loved it!

What a brilliant project for the brownies and they all did so well. Yours is also lovely in the colours you chose.
ReplyDeleteI love your designs, those images are really beautiful . x
ReplyDeleteSuch a joyful project, and the whole post radiates that busy, happy energy you get when a roomful of Brownies are crafting together. The way you prepared the notebooks with punched owl pieces, folded doilies, and personalized name labels gave the girls a perfect mix of guided steps and creative freedom, and the finished books look wonderfully bright and individual. Bringing the Big Shot and Puzzle Maker was inspired a double‑sided puzzle is exactly the kind of hands‑on activity they adore. It is lovely to see how much they accomplished and how proud they must have been of their creations.
ReplyDeleteOh wow looks like they had fun! (Hope you too... :) ) Enjoy the weekend!
