Octopus Template - 13th March

An absolutely fabulous craft and activity.

Colour in the octopus whatever colour you would like him to be.

Cut it out and then join A to B -- place a marble under the 'cone' shape and race.

HAVE FUN

Craft Foam Picture Frame

An easy-to-make photo frame.

Designs are cut out and pasted onto backing - very easy - very simple and all cubs will be able to manage this.

Recycling - Skipping Rope

As part of our Recycling Badge, our cubs made this skipping rope using recycled cold drink bottles.

A 1.5 meter of sash cord was cut for each cub. This the cubs could decorate with koki pens with a design of their own choice.

A hole was punched out of each bottle top so that the rope could be fed through it and knotted on the other side.

I bought some coloured 'pom-poms' and inserted those inside the bottles to give them colour. Colour beads can also be used. Two elastic bands were placed on each bottle for grip.

All in all a good idea and relatively easy for the cubs to make.

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!
