Bird Feeder Kit

Daniel worked on another Cub Scout craft. His den assembled a small bird feeder wood kit.

This kit can be bought at a local scout store or online via the Scouts Online Store. Just go to the Crafts link and you will find other kits that your scout (or enthusiasts) to assemble.

Here's the Small Bird Feeder box
Once assembled, the kit should look like the one on the picture.
Here's Daniel's Bird Feeder and he painted it with different colors.
View on the side.
We placed the feeder outside and added some bird feed.
We hanged it on a plant holder

We saw some birds on the feeder one time and here's a video of them.

Space Derby

Daniel did another Cub Scout Activity. He had to make a Space Derby and it was his first time creating one.

I also remembered during the last Pinewood Derby that siblings or parents can also join the race as guests so I bought one for Daryl.

Here's the box of the Space Derby kit.
Inside the kit, there are rubberbands, two wooden blocks with grooves on it, propeller parts, plastic boards for the wings and stickers
I've glued the wooden blocks together and shown Daniel to file the blocks to make it round.
I told him to use this file to be shape the wood block.
When the wood turned somewhat round. I gave two sandpaper to Daniel (rough and medium grit) and asked him to use it to smoothen the block.
He wanted his Space Derby to be a magic wand so he painted it black.
Here's the other Space Derby that I created for Daryl and he's painting it red (his favorite color).
Daryl's Space Derby with some paint on it.
I added the top part (white part) to both of the Space Derby's because I have to use a sharp knife. I also assembled the parts and here's Daryl's Space Derby.
Here's Daniel's Space Derby and he added a #9 sticker.
The two Space Derbys beside each other.
The Space Derby is a fun Cub Scouting activity. There were several interesting designs created by the Cub Scouts. Daniel received a patch for joining the event.

Several of the greeting cards were done by the kids and you'll be amazed by their talent and creativity. I have included below a few greeting cards that Daniel received.

Give drink to the thirsty

Here's another school drawing that Daniel made. I remember that he did this for a contest at school. It's a themed week and I believe it might be something like a Catholic week but I can't remember exactly. What I remember about this drawing is that he had to make another one because I forgot to put the 1 inch border around the paper.


Give drink to the thirsty

One guy is giving a glass of water to another person. If you look at the glass, there are splashes of water. The person that is thirsty appears to be in dire need of water because he's like steaming. There's also a little house at the bottom right corner. The sun is shining and the sky is blue and a few clouds can be seen up in the sky.

It's Paper DS time - Part 3

Playing Mario Hoops 3 on 3 this time.

I think this is the player selection screen.
3 Players are on the court playing basketball
I'm guessing that's the basketball ring on the top screen.
The top screen shows the Championship cup.
Looks like the player is a winner.

It's Paper DS time - Part 2

NOTE: 1 DS Now
Rock!
It's time to play Mario Party DS.
The 4 players are playing the mini-game Dust Buddies.
They have to run away and avoid being sucked by the vacuum.
This one is another mini-game where 2 players are dueling.
Daniel can't remember the game because it's been a year since he draw this and he hasn't played Mario Party for months now.
This one is another mini-game where the winner will get 10 coins.
The yellow thing on the bottom screen is a coin.
The player jumped over something.
This time the player is standing on something.
