Help!!!! I'm taking my 2 girls to Girl Scout Camp this weekend and I neglected to make our swaps! We now need to get busy. The theme is Under the Big Top (Circus). One idea I have is to cut out triangles from craft foam, hot glue a pom pom to the top, put some easy decorations on the front and voila' you have a clown's hat! (hot glue a pin to the back) I need to make 25 of these. My dd's want a different SWAP each.
Any ideas for the other craft? Must be easy - I'm short on time. 
Thanks for the help! We're going to swap these with other girls at camp this weekend. We can't wait to go!

Anytime you need a swap idea, just do a search on girl scout swaps. You'll get "Tons" of ideas. That is usually what I end up doing. Here are a couple that I use

It has to be a pin on type craft. The girls will pin them on their hats or vests after they swap.
Maybe I could cut a fish out of the same craft foam and use little sticks for the poles.... hmmmm.

Alee I was going to suggest the same thing! Another suggestion would be to crocet little fish ( i used to make these all the time as a kid) and glue a little magnet to them. Then take a stick tie some yarn and another magnet to the end. It makes a little fishing game like they have at the circus and carnivals.

What about some juggling balls? You could sew up some quick bean bags and fill them with rice. That way the girls can have clown hats and something to "clown around" with :)
