Instructions
Floating Flowers
Use the template overleaf to give each girl at least one flower. Make sure that the flowers are cut out carefully, especially the little white triangles in between the petals. If you don't cut these out the flowers will not fold or unfurl nicely.
Once the flowers are cut, get the Brownies to write their name in the centre and decorate their flowers. Then pass the flowers around and have other Brownies write messages on the petals, perhaps reasons why they are a great friend!
Fold each petal in, covering the centre of the flower. Gently drop the little bundle onto of a pool of water (we just used large tubs) and wait as the flowers open. Some will be quite fast and others will take their time. Be patient
