Helping Daisy Pinwheel
Step 1—Decide how to use your cookie money and Step 2—Talk about how to use cookie money to help others
Watch “What can a cookie do?” on YouTube. If possible, make preparations so girls can watch this
video during the meeting. www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Wy31SsNPv4
Cut small vertical slits into the straws for the paper fasteners.
Cut construction paper to form a square.
1. Discuss with girls some possible options for helping others in the community with the troop cookie
money that they will earn, such as donating to charity, using the money for troop activities, etc.
2. Hand out construction paper and help girls draw an “X” on their paper, meeting the corners of the
square. Have girls label each corner section of the four triangles 1-8, starting in the upper left corner,
continuing clockwise.
3. Have each girl pick one way that she can help others with her cookie money. Have girls write it in
section two along the diagonal line with the permanent marker. If girls have more than one idea, they
can write them near the other even numbers (4, 6 and 8). Once they have written their idea(s), they
can decorate the rest of the pinwheel with crayons.
4. Help girls cut along the diagonal lines, but remember to not cut all the way to the center.
5. Adults may need to help assemble the pinwheels. Fold the odd number corners into the center of
paper and poke the paper fastener through the middle. Then, insert the fastener into the precut hole
in the straw and bend in the back to secure.
6. Have girls test out their pinwheels!
