Rosie Petal Craft Ideas
Ready to get your craft on? Check out these fun projects that help Make the World a Better Place:
- Fairy Gardens – This Girl Scout Rosie Petal is a craft that your Girl Scout troop will love! Fairy houses are super cute and a trend I can get behind. Tying them into earning the Girl Scout Rosie Petal makes it even better. As your troop makes their houses, talk to the girls about how everything they do affects the world around them. To keep their community healthy, the Daisy Scouts can brainstorm ways to care for the world around them. For example, picking up trash at the park, raise money for a local charity, and so on.
- Decorate flower pots and then plant flowers in themÂ
- No-sew blankets for donation – Making a craft that's beneficial to people in need is an incredible way to earn the Rosie Petal. Take Mighty Girls Rock for example – their Daisy Girl Scouts made no-sew fleece blankets for homeless Vets. That one afternoon of crafting helped keep people warm. Doing for others is an immeasurable thing to teach. You are teaching, without a doubt, what makes the world a better place. Your troop is the future – when they're older, kindness and selflessness like this will come to them naturally.
- Popsicle Stick Bird Feeder – Animals can benefit from a helpful craft day too! These popsicle bird feeders are easy to make and are always a hit. Your Daisy Scouts will be able to take home the feeder with a little birdseed. Their family can hang it up where the girls will get to see how their hard work helps the birds have food to eat.
Printables for the Daisy Girl Scout Make the World a Better Place Petal
If you are looking for printables that help work towards your Rosie petal, here are some great options:
- Gloria Petal WorksheetÂ
- Make the World a Better Place Petal Coloring Sheet –
- Along with being a cute coloring sheet of a girl watering flowers, it is also a lesson that just like people and animals, the environment needs also needs care!
- Daisy Girl Scout Rose Themed Word Search
- “Let's Recycle” Printable Sorting Game –“Let's Recycle” is such a cute way to teach what can be recycled. Divide the girls into groups of four, where they take turns drawing cards that feature different recyclable materials. They need to put the card into the correct recycling bin. In the end, the Girl with the most points wins. Games are always a fun way to teach something!
Daisy Girl Scout Rosie Petal Activities
Here are some ways to contribute to your community in an age appropriate way, helping your girls make the world a better place.
- Color and Donate to Color-a-Page – Doing something beautiful for others is what the Rosie Petal is all about. Here is another activity that not only will your Girl Scouts love to do, but it will bring smiles to other people's faces as well. Color-A-Smile has many coloring pages to pick from and print out. After they're colored, they send them to the headquarters, and they will be distributed to nursing homes, hospitals, and other places where clients/patients could use a cheerful drawing to brighten their day.
- Do Random Acts of Kindness – A great way to reinforce the idea of wanting to make the world a better place is with teaching the girls about Random Acts of Kindness. Doing something sweet with no reason in mind other than making someone else's day a bit better is an incredible thing to practice. You never know how the smallest gesture can make a significant impact on someone. These acts are another lesson the girls will learn and continue to practice for years to come.
- Do a Community Service ProjectÂ
Books for the Daisy Girl Scout Make the World a Better Place Petal
If your troop loves reading or having books read aloud, here are some great options to help highlight the principles of the Rosie petal.
- “Beatrice's Goat” – This is a story of a girl living in an African nation, who's too poor to be able to attend school. Thanks to some help from an international program, she finds a way to make money and get the education she very much wants.
- “Harry The Happy Mouse” – Harry the Happy Mouse is a sweet story that teaches being kind to others with a ‘pay it forward' style of kindness. It's a great way to show that there are many ways to be kind and helpful to others and how that action continues to create useful, positive things in the world.
- “The Lorax” – The classic Dr. Seuss story of The Lorax is another way to teach about the message behind the Make the World a Better Place Petal. This story shows that even one person can make a difference, and just one person helping can lead to a chain reaction of helping each other and the environment. And a reminder of what happens when we don't treat the Earth with respect or keep it healthy.
