SCOUTING SWAPS

SWAPS are something I grew up with in Girl Scouts. Known both as “Special Whatchamacallits Affectionately Pinned Somewhere,” and just by their name relating to the popular practice of trading and sharing them with others, their use varies in BSA. Now as a Scouting Den Leader, I love bringing these fun crafts to my young scouts. This blog is an archive of the SWAPS I share with them. Also, unless specifically noted, these are NOT original ideas and many, if not all, are popular/common crafts.

Fuzzy Inchworm SWAPS

Materials: ~3” fuzzy pipe cleaner, 2 small googly eyes (sticker kind preferred), string, large safety pin (may choose to mark the bar side of the pin to distinguish from opening/spear side)

Bend pipe cleaner so it has a hump in the middle to form the shape of an inchworm.
Tie the fuzzy pipe cleaner to the bar (or non-opening) side of the safety pin, both near the head and near the end of the inchworm. Trim the string.
Attach the googly eyes (if not using sticker googly eyes, then glue dots or regular glue can be used to attach them).
