Girl Scout Ornaments

Every year our Girl Scout Service Unit (Manhattan Girl Scouts) participates in the Community Tree Trim at Brookfield Zoo! This year our theme was Dr. Seuss so each troop made ornaments to represent a different Dr. Seuss favorite. For my Cadette troop we thought outside the box and decided to do the story Wocket in my Pocket. Each girl designed their own imaginary Wocket for their pocket. We had a variety of supplies available for the girls to choose from and they had a blast creating their Wockets! 

I simply purchased jeans from our local thrift store on Dollar Green Tag Day! I got 5 pairs of jeans and we cut the pockets off of them. Then the leftover jean parts were put in a fabric recycling bin at a local school. I printed small copies of the book covers as a tag for the ornament and each girl added their name and troop number to the back. I laminated the tags so protect it from the elements.

Here's a photo of the tree with all of the different ornaments, there were a bunch of stories represented! Everything from Cat in the Hat and The Grinch Who Stole Christmas to Green Eggs and Ham and One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish! All of the girls did a great job!
