Pumpkins

 We covered the pumpkins badge by learning many facts about pumpkins, watching some videos, eating roasted pumpkin seeds, and making a pumpkin craft. We used pre-printed pumpkin templates and made zentangle designs which we then colored with watercolor pencils and painted over with water to achieve the look we wanted.

Mosaics

 We worked on the Mosaics badge for September.  We had a special guest, Dawn Squire, come and talk about her mosaic art and show some of the amazing pieces she has created.

We watched some great YouTube videos about the history of mosaics and looked at photos of mosaics from ancient times up through the present. We did three different crafts:  a simple foam sticker mosaic for the younger children, a sticker-by-number page, and a paper mosaic designed by each student.

Duct Tape

Today we worked on the Duct Tape badge!  We had 23 children present for our first meeting of 2020.  We learned many new things about duct tape.  There were two different projects available, duct tape wallets and a duct tape pencil bag or zip-top pouch.  Duct tape can be very difficult to work with!  Some were much stickier than others.  Preschool and Level 1 students completed their badge today!  Higher levels have a few more optional requirements to finish.

 

We are pleased to announce that Kids of Faith Club registration is now open for 2020!  We will meet on the 2nd Tuesday of each month beginning March 10th.  The first badge we will be working on is Duct Tape!  Please bring duct tape (Dollar Tree sells many colors and patterns) and sharp scissors for each child.

Registration forms and fees for 2020 will be collected at the meeting. 

Snow badge - January 2018

January was a very appropriate month to work on the Snow badge!  We learned about how snowflakes are formed and looked at very close-up views of snowflakes.  We made paper snowflakes.  We learned about snow fall records around the country, state and our local area. 

Thankfulness - November 2017

For November we worked on the Thankfulness badge.  Our group project was a Thankfulness tree.
 

We used this for our Thankfulness Journal
