Tonight was our 'Pre Coffee Morning' preparations!
On Saturday we're holding a coffee morning at the Church we meet at to raise money for our unit and the Rainbow Unit who meet before us - so tonight we did some preparation with the Brownies!
We started the evening with a game of splat (Which the girls really enjoy!) and after Brownie circle the girls got settled around tables for the craft to start. We explained that those who are coming to the CM on Saturday will earn their hostess badge (Which reminds me, I need to order the badges!) but everyone was going to make table decorations which they will be able to take home next week!
We made bouquets of flowers (In paper form) and decorated invitations to go home. Some of the girls were telling me that they had already invited friends, families and teachers so the invites were written to a lot of different people!
The bouquets were really easy to make - you fold a piece of green paper in half lengthways and cut from the fold into strips (But don't cut all the way!) After rolling the 'grass' the girls drew and cut out flowers/decorations. These looked really effective and will look lovely on the tables on Saturday. (I did mean to take a photo, but Tawny Owl was too efficient and put them in the cupboard, so here's the photo from the idea we used!)
We didn't have time for a game after tidying up, so we actually finished a few minutes early! We did the Brownie Smile and then Brownie Bells and the girls all went on their way!
We have 12 girls signed up to help at the Coffee Morning on Saturday, so they will be involved in making tea/coffee, working on the stalls and washing up! I'll let you know how it goes....
