Grass Heads are a great way to teach Cub Scouts about Growing Seeds - Theme Planting Seeds of Kindness



We had such a fun time making these Grass Heads with our Cub Scouts last year for the Cub Scout Theme Planting Seeds of Kindness.  It is a great way to teach Cubs about growing seeds.  We gave each boy a cup that already had dirt in it, seeds for him to plant, and the PDF below of lots of faces - eyes, noses, mouths, and shoes.  They grew their Grass Heads for the month and then brought them to Pack Meeting.  We displayed all of them on a table.  It was SO fun!  They all looked different, and we let any siblings that wanted to grow Grass Heads do it also.  It was so fun to watch them grow during the month.  These are a lot like Chia Pets, but much easier.  You could see the roots growing right inside the cups!  I hope you enjoy doing these with your Cub Scouts.

"Cub Scout are one in a Minion" PRINTABLE craft for Twinkies from Despicable Me - Great Table Decoration for the Blue & Gold Banquet



I got a little excited about Minions this year for the Blue & Gold.  I took ideas I was finding on Pinterest, and decided that I had to make Cub Scout Minions.  My 11 year old daughter, Sarah made them all for me.  She did all the cutting, drawing, and taping so your boys should be fine to do their own if you do it for Cub Scouts.  The Cub Scouts were SO excited when they received a Minion in addition to their awards, and the Leaders thought it was cute to get a twinkie that said "Thanks a MINION for being such a great Cub Scout Leader.  They were a fun addition to the Minion Coloring Page.    ** Sara Lee and Great Value (Walmart) brand have plain wrappers.

I was featured on Fun Family Crafts
