Xhosa Peace Pipe

This was a wonderful activity to do for the Area Cub Fun Day .... the cubs thoroughly enjoyed them and they were relatively easy to make.

Cold drink tops were collected for weeks on end and then a small hole was drilled into each one - just big enough for a "bendable" straw to fit through.

The straw was positioned in place with a glue gum - just to make sure these stayed in place.
Small round bits of sponge were cut out and placed into each cold drink cap and then a small amount of the "magic mixture" was poured into each cap.

As soon as the cubs blew on the pipes, mounds of bubbles poured out!

Magic Mixture
Dishwashing up liquid - about a cup
2 litres of water
1 t of glycerine

Enjoy and have loads of fun!

Lava Lamp

This is a fun activity to do with your Cub Pack or class.

Take a cold drink bottle and fill the bottom with water - probably 200ml. Top up with cooking oil.
Add half an effervescent tablet - it does not matter which one ..... and watch what happens!

Your very own Lava Lamp!

This will keep the kids occupied for hours!

Take a look at Akela's Cubs

With thanks to Jeff O'Brien (Yarra Valley Region), here is a finger puppet that can be made by the Cubs.

Although not the same as the balancing clown found on Akela's Cub blog, it is still worth trying.

Butterflies in my tummy!

This is a quick and easy craft and the cubs made it very quickly.

Take a coffee filter and cut into a butterfly shape. The cubs then traced their own pattern onto the filter paper and painted whatever colours they wanted.

Ordinary wooden pegs were used, painted different colours and I stuck "eyes" onto them before the meeting as this can get rather tricky.

One of the many beautiful butterflies painted by the cubs.

These they can put together with a small present for their fathers.
