Raise a smile
Beavers please draw a picture, write a poem, or short letter and send it to Bubbles (beaver leader) at the address sent in email.
Bubbles will then send them to two local nursing homes. The pictures/ letters will be shared with residents and displayed in their windows helping to raise a smile or two during these challenging times.
If we get lots, we’ll also send some to Chichester fire station and police station.
Email us a photo/ upload to OSM and this will count towards the Beaver World Challenge (requirement 2 ‘Help’).
Please ensure your child only writes their ‘first name’ and ‘1st Barnham Beavers’ on their picture/letter.
We are happy for siblings to join in with this, but once again only first names and age should be included in the picture/ letter.
Nature Creatives
Take part in an activity using natural items, like twigs, bark, pebbles.
Some suggestions are pebble art, garden nature art, leaf/bark rubbings, dream catchers, natural weaving and leaf print mandalas, although not restricted to these. Here are some pictures to give you some ideas.
Hopefully you can find suitable resources around your garden. Please only collect things on a walk if you are already going out.
