Brownie Smile Song
Troop 326
- Yellow Fun Foam or Cardstock Circle
- Two pieces of brown fun foam or felt cut in the shape of a pocket
With a black marker, make smile face on circle. If using felt, this could be a way for girls to practice simple straight stitching to make pockets. (This is my preferred method.) Otherwise, glue pocket pieces together with tacky glue. With pen, you can add stitching lines.
We attach the words to the Brownie smile song printed on cardstock.
Brownie Smile Song
I’ve something in my pocket
It belongs across my face
I keep it very close at hand
In a most convenient place
I’m sure you could not find it
If you guessed a long long while
So I’ll take it out and put it on
It’s a great big brownie smile.
