Girl Scout Cookie Digital Sales Templates

 Aloha, 2021 is dealing us a major Cookie season blow. I've done the work but I HATE paying for things that I need for a volunteer job like Girl Scouts. SOO here is a link to our door hanger template. You will have to down load it and edit it in word to make it perfect for you. We use Little Brownie baker, and many of the clip art used come straight from their website, so thankful they are finally putting out things we can use even if I crop and only use what I want. hehehehehe.

If you are wondering how I did all the parts here is a rather long tutorial on how I did all the parts, feel free to fast forward through the parts you don't need.

Ready Made templates from video


If you are looking for a Digital activity for your girls to do online during a zoom meeting download these google slide activities and then upload them to your own google drive. Then you can give girls a link to create their own posters.

Best Thank you would be to follow my Daughter's cookie link and donate a box. The link is in the templates so be sure to change out her photo, QR Code and Web address as well as delivery date. ;)

A new look at Art and the Outdoors, Designing with nature

I am also a Girl Scout leader and my fellow leaders and I have seen on our Facebook feeds a video of a high fashion designer that cuts out his design sketches and then shoots a photo to recreate it later. ( https://www.google.com/…/architectural-pattern-dress-design…
We wanted to do that with our girls as a part of their Outdoor art badge experience but didn’t want to use adult fashion images because we wanted to to girls just like them little K-2nd graders. I belong to the Little Lizard King pattern group on Facebook and knew that they had some coloring pages for little sewists. https://littlelizardking.com/color-me  also if you are just learning to sew or an advanced sewist, please also visit their pattern shop at https://littlelizardking.com . I've been using their patterns for my girls as well as for teaching sewing for 9 years. They are a amazing MOM led company, full of other moms sharing their design skills. 

I printed the image on card stock and then sat with a new exacto knife and cut out the fabric areas trying to leave details like waist seams and things in place.😉 

I spent the evening the night before we left for camp cutting out enough so that each girl could have one image to work with so that we could easily identify each girl's designs. A sunrise walk was the perfect time to explore our world in a new way, so with the help of a couple of moms and our leadership team we shot many photos of the designs the girls made. 

We used the sunrise and ocean first and then continued our walk exploring other plants, trees, signs, and buildings along the way.
  


The girls had a lot of fun and we discovered that inspiration can come from anywhere.




 Even the same rainbow can make 2 totally different looks.

We learned a lot about our girls by doing this. We could see what really inspired them and what their style is. Is it fairy? Hip Hop? Princess? Dirt and grunge? or is it just follow our friends?

Like I said we used it as a part of our outdoor art badge experience. You can only paint so many murals before you find it boring, and "AGAIN" complete with eye roll. SO we found something new and they were each inspired in a different way.

I hope that this inspires you as you go on your badge earning, homeschooling, STEAM, or just plain artist life adventure.
