Take a breath during cookie season with these easy ideas for a Girl Scout Valentine's Day meeting.

The holiday season is over. There is still a whole lot of winter that has to happen before the warmer spring season arrives. Your troop is stuck indoors…unless you are selling Girl Scout cookies at booths on the weekends. If you want a break from focusing on cookies, why not plan a fun Valentine’s Day meeting that does not require a lot of planning.
If you have read my blog for any length of time, you know how much I love to plan and organize. Now is the time to start thinking about a Valentine’s Day craft if your meeting falls near the holiday. Yes, I know that it is also World Thinking Day on February 22nd, as well as Twos Day, but newer and younger troops may not be celebrating this year. Plus, in case you are not aware, you can celebrate WTD any time of year, not just in February.
Your Valentine's Day meeting can be done in three simple steps.
1. Read a Story
There are so many wonderful Valentine's Day books for kids. Here are just a few.
With illustrations by the well-loved Tedd Arnold of Fly Guy fame, this story is sure to incite giggles.
The book was written an illustrated by the popular duo Laura Numeroff and Felicia Bond. A crowd pleaser at any age!
Written and illustrated by Felicia Bond, see what Cornelia Augusta does the day it rains hearts.
2. Do a Craft
For this easy Valentine's Day Girl Scout Daisy meeting, you can do a fun craft using a ready made craft kit. Here are just a few.
3. Make a Treat
Because Council rules vary, your girls may not be able to eat their Valentine's Day treat while at your meeting, and that is fine. Have plastic bags and/or foil to wrap up whatever you are making and the girls can eat their treat at home.
Materials
Cookies
Icing
Paper plates
Paper bowls
Plastic knives
Red or pink sugar and sprinkles
One of the easiest and most fun activities that my girls did through the years is decorate cookies. If you are not a baker, go to the grocery store and buy the jumbo package of sugar cookies.
Have the icing and decorations in bowls around the table. Have the girls decorate them. Easy!
What is your troop doing for Valentine's Day?
