After a marathon of preparation for my Daisy Troop's World Thinking Day, we made it to the finish line with our presentation. I was delighted with the girls! They did such a great job, worked together beautifully and came up with a fantastic, and in my opinion, very age-appropriate display. Here is Abby is front of the display. Me, being me, of course had Close To My Heart threaded all through it! We used the Artiste' Cartridge for the lettering. Our Leaning Tower of Pisa - each Daisy drew a tier on a piece of craft foam. Pizza anyone? (Notice that the Scalloped punch was used to make the pepperonis? We painted Ziti noodles green, white and red to create miniature Italian Flags then glued them to toothpicks for the cheese sampling. For the grapes, we cut out the grapes with the Artiste' Cartridge. The girls then glued them into clusters and added twirled pipe cleaners for the stems. For our Troop Swaps, we filled CTMH's Craft tubes with various types of noodles. We then cut out the tags with the Art Philosophy Cartridge. I used the Trinity Alphabet and the Capture the Date stamp sets for our troop info. We then threaded pony beads in the color of the Italian Flag and tied them to the tubes.

With World Thinking Day fast approaching this is the time when leaders are securing the countries their troops want to represent. With that in mind I would like to offer quick tips on the countries I have represented in the last few years so if you are hard pressed for time you can just steal ideas! And as you all know that is fine with me! If I can make one leaders day easier then I am happy! France: Swaps - Safety Pins with red, white and blue beads to mimic flag use return address labels to print out Troop # and Country and attach to safety pin Food - French Bread with jam Apparel - short or rolled up jeans, mary janes, white shirts and leaders sewed felt beanies with simple elastic opening Israel: Swaps - Mezuzah - small plastic test tube (ordered on-line from medical supply, 500 for about $30) with fake scroll (parchment paper with the definition of the word "Mezuzah" printed on it) inside similar to torah capped with wooden cap found at Hobby Lobby Food - potato latkes, hummus & pita chips Apparel - We made graduation caps out of blue, plastic Solo bowls and blue Solo paper plates and added a tassel to represent the countries high level of intelligence, scholars and education Skit - 3 of our girls with Jewish roots taught the girls how to say a Hanukkah Prayer in Hebrew http://www.jewfaq.org/prayer/chanukah.htm Russia: Swaps - Russian flags made from address labels with the flag printed on one side and our Troop # and country on the other, wrapped around a toothpick Food - We gave out Russian chocolates which I ordered on-line: http://www.russiancandystore.com/Candy-by-the-1-2-lb--pg1.html Apparel - We made and wore Sochi Olympic gold medals to represent the upcoming 2014 Winter Olympics in Russia one year (directions for making these are here: http://follow-the-leader.homestead.com/Crafts.html ) they were asked to wear sweatpants and jacket or red, white and blue and my other troop wore scarves shaped around the face which I found at Walgreens for about $5/each another year Skit - The girls sang "A Russian Child Song" - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dlQuIfyzq54 Peru: Swaps - Mini ponchos made from fabric, used safety pin to attach country name and Troop # Food - We served Inca Cola in dixie cups. It is a banana flavored cola that can easily be found on the internet. I purchased 5- 2L. On our table we displayed mangoes with the "Peru" sticker I found at the grocery store. You could also serve this fruit. Apparel - The girls made ponchos out of fleece. I purchased 1 yard of fabric for each girl and they cut out a hole for the head. Some of the girls cut fringe along the bottom edge. Skit - We made cute little spiders out of styrofoam balls I spray painted in black. The girls attached black pipe cleaner legs and googly eyes. They attached elastic to the top of the spider so they could bounce the spider as they sang "The Itsy Bitsy Spider" in Spanish Itzi, bitzi araña, tejió su telaraña. Vino la lluvia, y se la llevó. Salió el sol, se secó la lluvia. Y Itzi, bitzi araña, otra vez subió. South Africa: This year we intend to represent South Africa which should be a lot of fun. One of my Cadette's father is a British decedent from South Africa and will talk to the girls. Also I have a travel agent from Africa that visits often scheduled to talk to the girls as well. Swap - Jungle Candy (Oriental Trading Company $13.50 for 144 individually wrapped pieces) CLICK HERE Food - Bilatong, a salty beef jerky Apparel - traditional African head wrap (brightly-colored scarves from Wal-Mart)), hoop earrings (if the girls own a pair) large wood beaded necklace and bracelets Skits - have been removed from our WTD event due to time restraints Switzerland - Last year my Junior Troop represented Switzerland and the Girl Guide/Scout World Center, The Swiss Chalet. This year my Brownie Troop has decided to man this table. Swap - Last year we made adorable Swiss Cocoa cups of hot chocolate using large marshmallows. We used small pieces of pipe cleaner for the handles and a marker to color in the hot chocolate on the top of the marshmallow and a small wisp of cotton glued to the top to mimic whip cream. This year we plan on handing out cosmetic wedges to look like Swiss Cheese with a safety pin attached. Food - We gave out original Nestle Candy Bars which originated in Switzerland. You can order them online CLICK HERE This year we will serve swiss cheese Apparel - I always find apparel tricky. With so many girls it is hard to count on them having items at home so it much easier for me to provide the items. Last year my girls tried to look like Girl Guides and they wore a khaki colored t-shirt with a red bandana much like the GG their age wear in Swiss. This year my Brownies will be making a Swiss Shirt. They will use an erasable fabric marker to trace a large "+" on their shirt. Then we will use painter's tape and line up on the drawn lines. Next, the girls will paint the taped in area in white with acrylic paint using a foam brush. Finally the tape will be removed. The shirts should look like the Switzerland flag.
Recently my Junior troop worked on their Simple Meals badge. They learned how to make healthy snacks, desserts and a main meal. Throughout the meetings, girls collected their recipes and made their own Simple Meals cookbook to take home. The last step to earn the badge was to cook a meal for their families. The girls decided to host an Italian Night to celebrate their new skill! They served a complete dinner that included appetizers, green salad, Baked Ziti and dessert. I found the prefect Italian Party Printable from Casos e Coisa da Bonfa and party supplies on Oriental Trading web site. The desserts were simple since we had to concentrate on the main dish! We served no bake cheesecakes, mustache chocolate pops, store bought mini cheesecakes, bonbons and chocolate covered strawberries. The girls created unique centerpieces using a variety of pastas. Each girl scout received their own Chef's Hat favor made by Crafts by Rosa with all the badges they have earned until this dinner. While our guests were waiting for their dinner to be ready, they nibbled on bread sticks, olives, dinner roll/butter and garlic bread. The girls were busy cooking, setting up and decorating our "La Dolce Italia Restaurant" The girls welcomed their parents at the front door where they posed for a family photo before entering the "restaurant". The parents enjoyed their dinner cooked and served by their daughters! It was a success!! The girls were so proud of their accomplishment!
