Welcome to washcloth crafts! 

 

I really like the idea of the gift exchanges some of the Girl Scout troops do with other Scout troops.  The girls make a craft project to give each girl from another troop, which makes the gift giving all the more personal. The bear in the next book may fit the bill. He can always be made with a green washcloth.

Families who home school may want to do the same with other families they have grown close to over the years, especially at Christmas time. 

The Heart Box is one of the more versatile of the washcloth crafts for girls to make in the current book. It can be easily used as a Christmas ornament to hang on a tree.  A treat like a chocolate Kiss can be placed inside.

Boys and girls may prefer to make the reindeer. Give them the option to choose their own materials for the facial features.  Boys may prefer large googly eyes instead of hearts for the eyes and a medium or a large sized, red pom pom for the nose. Experiment with the different color cloths, too.  Try a white washcloth for the antlers instead of beige and a green washcloth for the ears instead of brown.  Instead of a bow, just tie off the ribbon and trim the ends in a slant for a boy reindeer.

Happy Crafting!
