Leader Tip
Here's a practical activity--make a personal first aid kit.
Materials: Large empty plastic pill bottle or 35mm film can, small bandages, sealed alcohol wipes, cotton balls, and 50¢ (for phone calls).
Step-by-step: Punch two holes in side of the bottle, put pipe cleaner through holes and secure by twisting inside, leaving enough on the outside for a belt loop or tie slide. Assemble and decorate with reflective tape or paint or pens.
