Hello there! Long time since I did a post on here! tsk tsk tsk! It has been a roller coaster ride this past year with hubby changing jobs and moving twice. I am currently without a Guiding Unit for 2017 but hopefully we will be moving to a new town soon so that I can get back into Guiding! {Maybe I'll be moving to your town!} However, I have still been sending my files all over the world to many Owl & Toadstool fans ...and I've been doing a few doodles to keep me in the Guiding spirit! WAGGGS Thinking Day 2017 theme "Grow" doodle "Scouting" Doodle 2017 "My Doodle Book" Cover page 2016 "Girl Guides with Girl Face" 2016 "Girl Guides ferns" doodle published in GGC British Columbia Council Provincial Newsletter Pipeline Summer/Fall 2016 "Mandala Trefoil" doodle published in GGC British Columbia Council Provincial Newsletter Pipeline Summer/Fall 2016 "Trail Signs" doodle published in GGC Manitoba Council Provincial Newsletter The Buffalo October 2016 "Manitoba Girl Guides" doodle published in GGC Manitoba Council Provincial Newsletter The Buffalo October 2016 "Girl Guiding Fun Mandala" doodle published in GGC Manitoba Council Provincial Newsletter The Buffalo October 2016 Colouring is a fun and relaxing activity! Not only do I like to doodle but I also enjoy colouring them too. This is a calm and quiet activity for the Girl Guides {and Guiders} to do at home, at camp, or to fill in time at weekly meetings. 10 Therapeutic Benefits of Coloring Books for Adults... "Coloring is not just an activity for keeping kids occupied; we only associate it with children. In reality, coloring books and coloring pages for adults are also extremely therapeutic and can help generate wellness, quietness, mindfulness and the exact same benefits which meditation imparts on the brain." color-meanings.com If you are interested in obtaining the pdf files of my doodles then you may email me {leeannfraser at hotmail dot com}. Please be specific when requesting a file. The file name is in "parenthesis" in the caption under each doodle. For a complete list of doodles on Owl & Toadstool go here.
Hello ! I'm back for another exciting and fun GUIDING YEAR! This is the beginning of my 17th year as a leader...plus I was a Guide for two years. That's 19 years membership with GGC! This year I am not leading both Brownies and Guides...just gonna do Guides and help out the Sparks and Brownies when needed. We have 14 Guides and 1 Pathfinder girl assistant...that is double membership from last year. We are busy selling cookies and getting ready for our kick off Campfire. I am still working on my craft room chaos {see post here..sorry it's not ready for the blog yet!} I do, however, have pdf files available for anyone interested in doing the Girl Guiding Lapbook{You In Guiding or World Guiding Badge lapbook}. See the original post here. Just leave a comment with your email address and I'll see if I have what you are looking for. I am always interested in seeing where my ideas are being used. Here are a few samples of what I have been working on to be used in the Lapbook. The Guide Promise Mini book The Four World Centres Cootie Catcher {or fortune teller} Looking forward to reading your comments!
Our Sparks, Brownies, and Guides gathered together to celebrate Thinking Day...a day late on Feb 23 since that happened to be our Guide night. We had several stations set up and the girls went around to do the activities...which focused mainly on the four World Centres and World Guiding. Then we had an indoor campfire which included a "World Flag Recipe" skit put on by the Guides... followed by World Centres fruit salad game. After the fun and games we sang Happy Birthday to Lord and Lady BP then ate cake! We only had 1:15hr to celebrate! The Sparks, Brownies, and Guides were given a little Passport and a pencil. The title "Passport" was colour coded for each branch of Guiding. They were instructed to go around to all of the stations to learn about the World Centres and World Guiding. There was a Guider/Owl posted at each station. After completing the activities they got their Passport stamped then moved on to the next station. The rest of the pages in the Passport were used for collecting autographs from each person in attendance which promoted mingling among new friends. At this station they had to locate the World Centres and other WAGGGS countries on the globe {electronic talking globe}. Also there were some International Sparks Paper Doll uniforms at this station. They got two stamps here. I had printed these Paper dolls and uniforms about 10 years ago when I was a Spark leader {yes, I save everything!} I do not know where they came from...the site is probably gone by now. But they are really cute. I glued the doll on cardboard to make it last longer...well it lasted 10 years so far. This photo is a Canadian Spark..the blue apron is a Daisy USA uniform. Our Canadian Spark uniform is still the same but I do not know about the others...they may have changed over the past 10 years. Top Left to Right: Gumnut Australia Beaver Netherlands Pippin New Zealand Bottom Left to Right: Teddy South Africa Rainbow UK Lady Bird Ireland Canadian Flag rubber stamp with red ink "Journey" rubber stamp with black ink. {I got this stamper in a GeoCache trade} At the England station we had a Pax Lodge info poster, photos of our pen pals "5th Nuneaton Brownies", a world map, paper dolls with UK Brownies Uniform, and ink/ stamper. The girls had fun playing with the paper dolls and Uniforms. {These were found on making friends.com...they have several paper dolls with paper uniforms, international clothes, and a bunch of other types of paper doll outfits}. UK Brownie Uniform English Rose rubber stamp with red ink The Switzerland station had an Our Chalet info poster {I had made these info posters about 5 years ago and have used them pretty much every year since}. I couldn't find any paper dolls for this country nor the Guiding Uniform so here they had to locate Switzerland on a map, read the info and get a stamp. Snowflake foam Stamper with silver ink The Mexico station had an Our Cabana info poster, paper dolls with traditional Mexican clothes {I couldn't find the Mexican Guiding uniform for the paper dolls}, world map, and ink with stamper. Traditional Mexican clothes Mexican Sombrero rubber stamp with orange ink The station for India had a Sangam Info poster, a world map, Paper Dolls with Guide Uniform and traditional clothing, and an elephant rubber stamp with pink ink. Traditional Indian dress and Bulbul Uniform Elephant rubber stamp with pink ink The colours of Canadian Guiding At this station the Girl Guides had learned about the different Branches of Girl Guides of Canada. We had GGC store catalogues opened to the pages of each branches' uniform. You can also see in this pic three Girl Guide dolls in uniform. The girls made an easy and quick hat craft at this station too. They chose a coloured bead to represent each of the GGC branches of Guiding { Pink=Sparks, Orange=Brownies, Blue= Guides, Red=Rangers, Blue=Guiders/Owls} and put them on a large safety pin {another smaller pin was used so that it would hang flat}. Hat Craft Around the room were several posters of International Brownie uniforms from 1985. Canada 1985 United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland 1985 We also had a couple of similar Uniform posters from 1974 but I don`t have a photo of those yet. After about 20 minutes of free range learning at the stations we gathered around the campfire for about 20 minutes of singing. My little plug in campfire... got lots of use over the years! Guides performed a skit during campfire ... World Flag Recipe Skit Fire Owl made this beautiful cake but I did not get a chance to snap a picture before it was cut. It was the Earth, with the green land and blue water icing. It was really nice and yummy! Fire Owl's Brownie daughter helped to decorate it. A very helpful Guide delivered the cake around to everyone on this cart! Hope you all had a fun Thinking Day celebration!

Hello Owl & Toadstool viewers! Did you know that there is a Fifth World Centre? Yes, there is a fifth World Centre in Africa called Kusafiri. The Fifth World Centre in Africa "Kusafiri World Centre is a project exploring how WAGGGS can bring a World Centre experience using existing facilities in Africa. The ‘centre’ has no fixed site but changes location at every event, creating international experiences to girls and young women in different countries in Africa". https://www.wagggs.org/en/our-world/world-centres/kusafiri/ This fifth World Centre was established in 2010 and in October 2015 was officially named Kusafiri. Kusafiri means 'to journey' in Swahili. For more information on how Kusafiri World Centre came to be see the above link. The Five World Centres mini book Kusafiri World Centre poster to be used with the Five World Centres mini book I will need to change the name of my song "The Four World Centres" to "The Five World Centres" to include Kusafiri. What rhymes with Kusafiri...hmmm...LOL...I will come up with something. I am not sure how to pronounce Kusafiri either...is it Ku-sa-furry or Ku-sa-feary??

Hello friends! It's getting close to that time of year when Guiders are frantically searching for activities to use for a Thinking Day themed meeting. One idea that I like to do with my Girl Guide unit each year is to teach them about world guiding and the Four World Centres. I made this Four World Centres mini book along with posters of the Four World Centres ,and other info, to be used in a round-robin style meeting. I originally made it about 6 or 7 years ago and have made minor changes to the photos and content over the years. *Update* I have an updated edition of the World Centres mini book here which includes the fifth World Centre. If you would like to request this file please email The Girl Guides look at the posters and fill in the info in the mini book Left page... W A G G G S 145 member Countries 10 Million Members Right page... Country: England Pax Means: Peace Left page... Country: Switzerland Chalet Means: Shelter on the mountain Right page... Country: India Sangam Means: Coming Together Left page... Country: Mexico Cabana means: small cabin by a stream Right page... C W F F Have the girls print their name on the back. This book can be used in the World Guiding Lapbook or on it's own. It may be a little tricky to explain the folding directions but it really is quite simple once you make one. See the folding directions at the end of this post. This is what the mini book looks like before folding and cutting The coordinating posters pdf is also available upon request. I am happy to share Guiding activities with Sisters in Guiding! Mini book folding instructions

On our last adventure into Germany, I was lured to the city of Kassel by the siren song of the modern, hip, intriguing promise of visiting GRIMMWELT, literally in English GRIMM WORLD, a museum that is dedicated to EVERYTHING Grimm brothers. This museum goes beyond the fairy tales to include their work on a German dictionary, and includes in their scope the work of other Grimm siblings. Opened in 2015, everything is clean, open, modern, spacious, minimalist, and innovative. It's equal parts biographic, linguistic heritage, and art museum. It's a museum that is trying not to be a stuffy, typical museum, and is very successful in that endeavor!
