VALENTINE CRAFTS

Last meeting, our craft time consisted of a couple simple Valentine Crafts.

I thought I would post them because it's kind of fun doing crafts with the family and also I've been getting some Girl Scout Troop Leaders commenting me on my other family blog.

This first Craft is a Lollipop Flower.

*BTW...these are both Dollar Tree finds. Everything is from the Dollar Store.

The first craft uses only tissue paper, floral tape and a lollipop.

 I had cut the tissue paper in circles ahead of time. The girls got 3 circles per flower.

 Have them push the Lollipop through all tissue papers.

They then need to crumble up the tissue to make a full flower.

 We used floral tape for the stick part. Honestly, next time....I'm just going to use tape to make the tissue paper hold up. The girls had a very hard time with the floral tape. Live and learn...right?

 The next Valentine Craft looked like a Heart Flower.

Double Sided Tape, Lollipops, and Construction Paper all from the Dollar Store. The yarn was from our pumpkin project in October.

 Have the girls make 2 hearts. One bigger than the other. They also used decorative scissors for the bigger one to give it a cute touch!

{Many of the girls had a hard time cutting hearts....so maybe drawing them out with pencil would help for next time?}

 They used the Double Sided Tape to adhere them together.

One piece of tape was put on the littler heart in the front to stick the lollipop.

 Tie your ribbon or green yarn to the stick to make it look like leaves...!

Cute right?
All the Troops can do these very easily...and not be bored.
