Photo Swaps

At a recent camp we took head shots of each of the girls.  We then printed the pictures by choosing mini prints in which you get 9 little photos on a 4x6 so the pictures are about 2x1.5"  We then had the girls sign the back of their pictures.  Then we taped the front and the back of the picture with packing tape and trimmed around each photo.  Yes we taped 300 little pictures, just a little crazy.  If you have a  laminating machine it would be much quicker.   Each girl got a picture and the autograph of their friends they have made this past year of Brownies.  They can wear these photos on their camp hat as a hat craft.  This will make an amazing swap.  Take a photo of your town sign, photo of your group at an activity, the sky is the limit.

Mini photo Album

One of my leaders went home after camp and came up with another idea for our mini photos.  She made a cover and punch holes in each photo, attatched them to a key ring and made a mini photo album.

Taco in a bag.  Hat Swap

We had tacos in a bag for lunch so why not tacos in a bag hat swap.

Tiny little ziplock bags can be bought at the $stores.

Foam in colours matching foods

Orange triangles - cheese

Green tiny strips - lettuce

White strips - onions

Red circles - tomatoes

Brown triangles - nachos

Grey tiny pieces - mushrooms

Put all the tiny pieces in the bag and you have tacos in a bag.

Hopefully everyone will have fun making our swap ideas.

We really enjoyed making the hat swaps and the our girls enjoy making swaps
