January's YETI badge should have meant lots of snow play but there was just no snow this year! Our snowshoeing adventure was cancelled due to rain. Our club meeting resulted in completing only TWO Yeti challenges and continuing a couple other badges.
YETI badge
> making fire starters
> making snow goggles
CLUB MEMBER badge
> make a flag
(we attempted to start this flag in September and have never had time to work on! It's always good to catch up on our DIY to-do list!)
PAPERCRAFTER badge
> build a paper vehicle
We learned a little about the invention of snow goggles (which were created by the Inuit) and then we made our own out of felt! I didn't get any photos of the kids wearing them but check out Maybelline's here: https://diy.org/maybelline/699209

Our fire starters were made of Vaseline and cotton balls. Simple but very helpful when starting a fire! They WERE a mess to make though! I encouraged the students to add these to the "winter survival kit" that would meet one of the Yeti challenges!
We are learning that it's important to fully read the description of the challenges to ensure we have what they are asking for. The flag must be made out of material. We used fabric markers on our flag - one hexagon per member!
Check out the (mostly) finished products here: Jorja's picture of the Surrey DIY flag: https://diy.org/ravenbeuty/699273 and Abby DIY's flag: ...? Didn't anyone post it?!
Then, the final challenge was making a paper vehicle! We used the "how to" on the DIY paper vehicle page and used balloons to make it go. SO cool! Some of our DIY-ers got really creative with this portion of today's challenge!
So that's THREE badges that everyone can aim to earn (the physical badge from me!) by completing 6 challenges in each area! Good luck, DIY-ers!
