Are you a girl scout troop leader? If so you have stumbled on a great FREE resource! After searching Pinterest today for some free materials to print and use for this cookie booth season I wasn’t impressed with what I found. Most links took me to Etsy and while I’m all for people making a buck our troop works on limited funds and I’m sure many of yours do as well. I like to keep overheard down and use free resources as much as possible to allow all money earned to go right back into girl activities. Hence todays blog post! Step right up! Girl Scout Cookie Booths – Free Printables coming your way!

Pom Pom Father’s Day Monkey Card

If you loved the Father’s Day Lion Card from the other day – guess what?!?  Here is another option – a Pom Pom Father’s Day Monkey Card!  You can use the same supplies you already have on hand and this would give another card option if you have more than one child.  

Supplies

• Printed PDF template (download the template here: Monkey Card Template)
• Green construction paper
• School glue
• Glue stick
• Scissors
• Small piece of tan felt
• Black sharpie marker
• Brown markers
• Large googly eyes
• Brown pom poms, one large and one medium

Instructions

• Cut the construction paper in half. Cut the template from the white paper. Glue the template to the middle of the construction paper.
• Using a good amount of glue, attach the pom poms as shown: the large pom pom is the koala body, medium is the head.
• Glue or stick on the google eye.
• Cut an oval out of the tan felt. Use the black marker to draw on a circle nose and mouth.
• Glue the felt piece to the monkey’s face.
• Use the brown marker to make the ears: Starting at the monkey’s eye level, make a semi circle toward the bottom of the head. Use the brown marker to create legs, arms and a long tail.
• The card is complete!

My kids love making special crafts like these for their dad and grandfathers.

Elf on the Shelf Letters {Free Printables}

Christmas is so magical. With Santa, snow, glistening lights, and the Elf that sits on a shelf & causes mischief the whole season long. It’s exciting to have childhood memories of the delight that the season brings but it is even better to relive it all over again through my children. They completely believe in the magic that is Christmas and Santa and I swear there is an extra twinkle or two in their eyes come December.

My family always kicked off the Christmas season on Thanksgiving. After the celebrations of the day were complete, we would sit with the big stack of ads that came in the newspaper that day. We’d begin researching, circling, highlighting and making our list to Santa. Even when our belief wavered slightly, we still wrote lists to Santa.

With my kids we do the same things – we make lists, we plan a visit to see Santa and decorate the house together.  One piece of magic they have that I didn’t while growing up is the Elf on the Shelf.  My kids love Mickey – our Elf on a Shelf.  He comes back every year on the Saturday afternoon Thanksgiving. We read the book that came with Mickey and watch the Elf on the Shelf Movie (The Elf’s Story).  As soon as Mickey arrives the kids wonder where they will find him each day.

Mickey comes back each year with a bang – one of my favorites was his Welcome Breakfast we did a few years ago.  Mickey always brings the kids a pair of Christmas pajamas on his arrival so they have them for the whole Christmas season.  The kids love every second and it makes all of the planning worth it.  Mickey gets up to mischief all year and also brings the kids some festive presents along the way.  This year he will be bringing them these fun LEGO advent calendars (Star Wars, LEGO Friends) on December 1st. 

Each year I always struggled with how to re-introduce and say goodbye to Mickey.  My friend Deanna who used to blog at Playdough & Popsicles created these awesome letters that I now have the privilege of sharing on my blog.  Download these individually below.  If you are interested in more Elf on the Shelf Goodies be sure to check back soon where I will release a whole Elf on the Shelf Printable Pack that includes the letters and additional items!
