More Stenciling Fun

Our Webelos Den needed to make some table decorations for our Pack meetings - the Tiger's had a cute display and were lucky enough to find Tiger Cloth ready-made. We decided to stencil our own Webelos Table Cloth.

I originally made stencils by gluing the craft foam cutouts of the symbols to some scrap wood -


this worked fine for the big blue oval - but the boys couldn't see to align the other elements so we finally peeled them off and used just the foam stencils - we had wet washcloths for the paint-y fingers...

Here they are stenciling the Webelos W...

You can see some of the finished 3 part stencils on the cloth...

The finished table cloth - there are some visible boo-boos - but the boys were really happy with their efforts.

Then we made a centerpiece for the table by cutting craft foam into the shapes needed to make the Webelos symbol - with each boy cutting a different shape and then working together to make them all fit...


After everyone got cleaned up - we played the 'fitness game' - it's listed in the big 'How To Book' - and when I read it - I didn't think it would be that much fun - it's sort of a follow the leader type game - they get in a big circle and start walking and then I shout out different ways to walk, i.e., like a monster - like the toe of one foot hurts and the heel of the other - with your hands and feet on the ground and your bottom up in the air - etc...



Anywhooo - it was quite a workout and they all really seemed to enjoy it... followed by a healthy snack of course...
