International Day of the Girl 2015

My Guide Unit did the Girl Guides of Canada International Day of the Girl challenge this week and they loved it! I was so impressed with how amazing their gender neutral toys were I thought I would share them with you! I would highly reccommend doing the challenge with your unit- it is very well done! Check it out here

We made the toys in patrols. The Lily of the Valley patrol decided to make robots. Here are a few pictures of the planning process, the building of, and the final presentation of their Goybots (Girl/Boy Robots)








The Daffodil patrol took a different route and decided to make a board game that everyone would like to play! They made a game called Snowman Mania where the object of the game is to build a snowman (cue Frozen?) They were so proud of it they wanted to keep it at the hall so we could play it another meeting.




(I love the warning- it says "Warning choking hazard don't let children under 5 play or get close to small pieces) So clever!


The Swallow patrol took a completely different approach and made a stuffed animal toy sitting on a cat cloud... :) They didn't do any planning but worked through their challenges as they were trying to make their toy as a team and they were happy with the final product and that is what counts! 


Not only is the program awesome, the crest is so pretty too! :)
