Easy Craft

[ManyHats]

I need ideas for a cheap and easy craft for a station at field day. They are expecting 1000 cubs to go through. Overall theme is centered around the 100 year anniversary.

 

Thanks

A fun idea would be to gather up 100 pieces of "Lincoln Logs" and give them 100 seconds to build a log cabin. Maybe have some thin wood sheets with the anniversary logo on them for root sizes. Course a Digital Camera to get a picture of the group/cabin.

 

 

If you can't find Lincoln Logs, just cut some lengths of dowel rods and notch them a bit.

 

One of the more popular cub activities in our council is "Life Size" Foosball using cubs on stationary ropes to kick the ball across the field.

 

Or get simple, decorate some corn hole boards or 3-tier vertical golf sets in anniversary colors.

3/4" plastic plumbing pipe (donated by local plumber?) cut with hacksaw into 3/4" lengths. Check size for fit on neckerchief.

Clothes pin (either spring type or push on type, donated by local hardware store?)).

Blue and/or yellow pipe cleaners, cut to size.

Fast drying acylic or poster paint. Small brushes. Fine line markers.

Paint clothes pins to look like Cub Scouts. Put pipe cleaners in appropriately as arms. Hot glue or "Goop" the Cub pins to the pipe pieces, dry in minutes.

 

Cub Neckers slides!

 

Variations are possible: Go to art/craft store, find thin rubbery material, Blue and Gold and Red. (1)Cut Blue into 2" squares, (2) cut gold into 1 3/4" squares (3) cut red into 1 1/2" "100" siloheutte, deliniate with black fine line marker to read "100" (4) glue "100" on gold diamond, (5) glue gold diamond on blue diamond (6) glue gold diamond on blue diamond (7) glue blue diamond on pipe section, right side up!

 

For "field day", alot of this can be pre cut.
