Pinewood Derby Neckerchief Slides

We are making neckerchief slides as participation awards for our boys for our pinewood derby. I found the idea HERE

Materials needed:

• baseboard (we got 75ish from a 5ft section)
• spray paint in whatever colors you would like plus black
• thumb tacks
• pvc pipe and cutters.
• silver sharpie
• hot glue gun

Cut 1 inch pieces from baseboard


Poke thumb tacks into piece of cardboard or cardboard box

Spray paint black...I did two coats.

Spray paint your "cars" the colors you want them, in my case I did them green

red and

blue.

place painted thumbtacks in sides of  "cars"

Use a hot glue gun to attach PVC pipe piece(about 1/2" wide) to back of "car".

Use a silver sharpie, or white paint to add headlights. You can also add stickers to it.

PVC pipe Ring toss

Last year when I was at Scout-O-Rama I found the coolest idea, for a ring toss game. I wish I knew whose idea it was so I can give credit where it is due, but the paper I have has no information on that just the instructions on how to make it.

Isn't this so cool. You can take it apart to store it and then re-assemble it when it is needed. If you take it apart and let the boys take turns building it, it will pass off Wolf E4c and Bear E18b(part)

Here is what you need to make one of these:

5 - 6"x 3/4" pvc pipe pieces (4 for base one for post)
1- 4"x 3/4" pvc pipe piece(post)
1- 8x 3/4" pvc pipe piece(post)
1- 10" x 3/4"(post)
1- 4 way 3/4" pvc connector (base center)
4- 90 degree 3/4" PVC elbows(connects base to posts)
4- 3/4" PVC end cap(top of posts)

RINGS

3- 16" x 3/16" inside dimension vinyl tubing (rings)
3- 1"x 3/16" diameter dowel (connects tubing ends)
4- different  colors duct tape (secures rings and color codes caps)

I was able to get 4 rings out of the tubing, but one was a little bit smaller, you really only need 3 rings.

All about mom coasters

Here is a simple, inexpensive,usable, but cute project you can have your scouts make for mom, or grandma for Mother's Day

Materials need

• 4-8-4.5" x 4.5" tiles(you can use any amount you prefer. these can be found at any hardware store for between .16-.25cents
• Windex
• paper towel
• Modge Podge
• foam brush
• felt(which I forgot in the picture)
• Printable from  HERE or you can make your own. 

Step 1: Start by cleaning/drying each tile with windex

Step 2: Have your child answer the questions on each square and or draw a picture, use the blank one for a picture of the child. (I would have had them color their pictures or use markers to write their answers so there is a little more color to them)

Step 3:Cut out each of the squares

Step 4: apply a thin coat of modge podge on the back of one of the papers(it is kind of hard to see in the picture) and apply to the center of the tile(picture below), I had the after thought of adding a piece of scrapbook paper to the tile first before adding the question(I would cut mine as a 4x4 square).

Step 5: Once tile is completely dry apply a thin coat of modge podge on top of the tile over the paper, then let dry. 

Step 6: Repeat step 5 

Repeat this process with each tile until you are done

Step 6: Cut a 4"x4" square out of felt and hot glue onto the bottom of each tile this way there is no worries of the tiles scratching the surface.(Using white felt makes it hard to see, sorry)

Tie all of the tiles together with a cute ribbon and you have a cute mother's day gift.

This could pass off  Wolf E17a,c if you wrap them  or E17d if you do not wrap them. Also part of Bear 22b(square knot)
