So, one of the things I've been doing this year is volunteering as a Girl Scout leader. I have a troop of Kindergarten Daisies and for our last meeting of the year we made Good Turn Mice. My mom used to make these for us to take to school around Christmas time, and the tail was actually a candy cane. I made the adjustment to use ribbon for the tail so the Daisies can tie knots in them when they do their good turns over the summer.
Good Turn Mouse
This sassy creature is a mouse
Most mothers won't let one in the house
See, this one it has quite a tail,
Each Girl Scout made one without fail.
Take it with you and help all week,
and to do good turns you must seek
for every good turn that you do
Tie a knot in the tail . . . Make quite a few.
Remember why each knot you tied
and how much to help you really tried
and then next time, please take your turn
to tell us all, so we can learn...
just what you did to help at home
a ready helper you have grown!
Stay tuned, I'll see if I can figure out how to post my mouse pattern . . .
