A New Adventure….”Little Brave Girls”

November 2, 2011 by melody 107 Comments

Free Class for Girls from Brave Girls Club

********************************************************************

Hi, Friends!

In preparation for our new class – BRAVE MOTHERS & DAUGHTERS – we held a Mother-Daughter Day Camp here at the clubhouse. It was a beautiful 2 days with many of our friends and their daughters. We loved doing this and can’t wait for you to try it with your daughters…and your friends and their daughters!

Enjoy!!

Love,

melody and kathy

****************************************************************************

For a very very very long time, we have been wanting to implement classes for little girls, preteens and teenagers. Last week we did a mother/daughter weekend….and it was WONDERFUL…and it was so successful, that we can’t wait to share it with you!

I Am Project for Girls - Painting

I Am Project for Girls - Collage

I Am Project for Girls - Choosing Supplies

I Am Project for Girls - Concentrating on the Art

It really is amazing how receptive these girls are to this curriculum and material…I mean..they really really really get it….they do. They are thirsty for it and they LOVED IT. During our share time, they had insights that brought tears to my eyes…they are so much smarter, sensitive and full of individuality, hopes and dreams than I even imagined they would be. They are just like we are….just littler.

I Am Project for Girls - Cutting Words Out

I Am Project for Girls - mom and daughters

I Am Project for Girls - Making her Canvas

I LOVED the conversations going on…I LOVED the interaction between the mothers and the daughters…I LOOOOVED the way they talked about their art to each other….I LOVED most of all, the way they had such conviction about what they made, and what it meant, once they were done. I love how they believed in WHO THEY ARE, and WHAT THEY ARE CAPABLE OF. I loved hearing about their hopes and dreams. I want to help them keep this spark before whatever it is that happens, happens…that thing that steals the spark from so many girls once they become women…..and how they have to fight to get it back. I want to help them to never really lose it……..they are such beautiful and powerful little souls.

I Am Project for Girls - mom and daughter painting

I Am Project for Girls - Happy Girl

I Am Project for Girls - Friends

So many wonderful things happened that week for all of us. To be able to be a part of this sealed the deal for me…..that we MUST be here for each other…WE MUST remind each other of all of the things that we forget. We MUST take responsibility for the protection and teaching of our daughters and our friend’s daughters….we must make sure that they know what they need to know…and that they get to keep shining..that their lights stay lit…we need to do all that we can to make sure that nothing blows their lights out…and when it does happen…that they have tools to know what to do about it.

I Am Project for Girls - mom admiring work

I Am Project for Girls - completed canvas

I Am Project for Girls - Proud of her Work

Girls are powerful, amazing and strong. Boys are too……..I love my boys…oh how I love my boys…but there’s something so special and unique and sparkling about the soul of a girl……how her heart is so full of love and promise…and nurturing and enthusiasm…..we are just like these little girls, we are just bigger…older….we are still just like them. We just have adult stuff to deal with now.

I Am Project for Girls - Lunch

I Am Project for Girls - taking a break by the pond

I am project for girls - taking a break with bubbles

It was a spectacular, special and unforgettable couple of days.

We want to make it so that you can do this too….share this kind of stuff with the special girls in your life….make sure they know what they need to know, and in the process, make sure that you get reminded of what you need to know…so that we can all just keep reminding each other…

I Am Project for Girls - Dear Me

 

I Am Project for Girls - I am Amazing

I Am Project for Girls - I am fabulous

I Am Project for Girls - I am worth it

Life is good…

Life is beautiful…

We are all so full of this goodness and beauty, all of us.

We are all so different…

I Am Project for Girls - I am a Superstar

Brave Girls Club - I Am Strong

We are all so important…

We all need each other so much…we need each other’s kindness, we need each other’s support, we need each other’s wisdom and strength and stories.

I Am Project for Girls - I am talented

I Am Project for Girls - I am just right just the way I am

I Am Project for Girls - I am incredible

I Am Project for Girls - I am a good person

I Am Project for Girls - I am love

We all have so much to give.

We all have so much to learn and to experience.

We all have so much that we can do.

ALL OF US.

I Am Project for Girls - I am Lovely

I love what I do.

I feel like the luckiest girl in the world.

xoxo

    Hello,

    I am a school psychologist and I use this project with many of the young girls I work with. They truly enjoy it and I love how it brings out their confidence. I’m wondering if you have or know of something similar for boys? I have many male students who would also benefit from this activity, but they lose interest when they see it’s mostly geared toward girls.

    Thank you for your help!

      Hi Katie – How awesome that you are using this with the girls you work with! We don’t have a companion class for boys that matches “I AM’, but we have a few things for boys that I know would be really helpful.

      We have three different “Brave Littles” Activity Books that are just awesome: I am Brave, I’m Just Right, and I Can Learn It. These are gender-neutral and work for kids from probably 5-8 or so.

      We also have our SoulBook program, with variations for men, women, kids, and teens/preteens. SoulBook is like I AM times 100! SO SO GOOD. Extremely effective in helping kids in all situations, including trauma, divorce, illness, or just struggling to get through life. We have workbooks available and materials that can be purchased, but we also have free downloadable PDFS that can be used. You can learn all about SoulBook on this page: http://bravegirlsclub.com/archives/34082 SoulBook is in Brave Girl University as one of the free online courses, so there are videos etc there that will instruct you on how to make a SouLBook and give you ideas on how to adapt it for your clients. Here’s a link to that: http://my.bravegirlsclub.com/courses/soul-book/ Please please please send us an email at support@bravegirlsclub.com if you have any questions at all. We would love for you to be able to use these tools to help kids. XOXO kathy

    This is a beautiful idea! How long do you think is the minimum time needed for the girls to create these?

    I’m leading a Brownie troop meeting next week and want to use this along with a Leadership lesson I’m giving – about girls being proud of their talents. I have enough time, but want to be sure I don’t cut this part short.

    Thank you!!

      They will be able to complete this in a couple of hours. But be sure to have them use a VERY THIN layer of paint on their canvas so that it dries quickly. You might even have them apply their base coat by scraping it on with a credit card instead of using brushes. In my experience, they LOVE to use lots of paint, and waiting for it to dry can really hang you up. Another way around this is to have them apply their background paint and then give your leadership lesson while it dries, then return when the paint is dry for adding the collage portion. They can also cut out their word strips, etc., while the paint dries. I hope that helps. Have fun!!!! xoxo kathy

      Hey, Diane!

      I’m doing this for our Brownies as well! We have 17 girls that we break into 3 groups, and we send them to stations for 25 minutes each. The first week, I had them draw their faces and make construction paper hair and glue it to the portrait page. Last week, I had them paint their canvases (I had a blowdryer to speed them along). Tonight, we will be cutting out out portraits and gluing them with their affirmation words to the canvases we painted. It’s a little difficult packing everything up and lugging it back and forth, but the girls have had a chance to really work hard on each part of the process.

    Hi Melody,

    I love this and would love to do this with my 7th grade mentoring group. What instructions did you give to the girls to get them to produce such amazing work? Also, what instructions did you give the moms? I am assuming that you had the mothers give advice to their daughters. This whole project is AMAZING. Great job!

      Hi Adriana! So glad this project will work for your group! Here’s what Melody said: we gave them each an 8×10 canvas, paint and brushes and mod podge, along with scissors and print outs of the PDF. We set out a few trays of lace and trim and this and that…then we turned on some music and let them be. What they came up with was beautiful!:)

      We’d love to hear how to works out for you and your group!! xo, Kallie

      Hi, Nicole –

      Here is the pdf link… I tested it and don’t see the black background that you’re seeing. So one thing that might help is to right click on it and do a Save As, to save it to your computer. Then open it in Adobe Reader and print from there.

      Have fun with this project!!

      The little notes that the girls put in their hearts are the words on the last 3 pages of the PDF.

    I came across this when working on a post for my own blog related to Girl Scouts. I’m loving the idea of this board and I think I might actually make one for myself! I think it would be a wonderful and inspirational tool to remind myself (even at 29) that there are many reasons to love myself. Thank you for sharing this post and the wonderful pictures too!

    Thank you, Kathy Wilkins, for this most needed project of yours. Thanks for the templates too. Definitely going to use it. A few of my colleagues and I discovered an urgent need for a girls club at our school for the grade 5s to 7s ( 11-13 years old). We just began this last term of school, but will be full-time next year. It is going well so far, but we are looking for advise, ideas, topics, activities and websites to assist us in creating a curriculum for the year. Any ideas please. Thanks again.

      Hi, Karen –

      Just have the girls cut out the face parts they want to use and mod podge them to a canvas or canvas board or even to card stock. They add features and hair and clothing with paint or markers or crayons or really anything, or they cut out hair or clothing etc from paper or fabric and use mod podge to collage them in place. You might give them some ideas from our library of art technique videos in the free area of our Soul School dashboard at my.bravegirlsclub.com . Have loads of fun!

    We are doing a sleepover for my daughters b-day and this is the main project for the night- It’s coming up, soon, please let me know asap- Thanks!

      Hi, Jennifer – Unfortunately we don’t have the additional images for the other faces or lips that are shown on the collages that the girls did. However, because it is collage, you could possibly find lots of other images of lips and collage those in place. Some of the girls drew their own features in, and they turned out darling. I hope the sleepover is super fun, and happy birthday to your daughter! xoxo kathy

    Thank you for sharing, it sounds like a great project to do with my art students in the classroom. Some of these kids don’t hear very often how special they are. They need to be reaffirmed and internalized that they are loved and appreciated just the way they are; they don’t have to try to be somebody else.

    Just found this on Pinterest, and like several others, I would like to use this in the fall for a back to school start up activity. So great to pull us all together as a class, and to share that each of us has gifts and talents. Did you create your faces? I think the blank ones would be fine for the boys, but is there also a face with features for those not feeling so artistic and inclined to create their own?

      We use Mod Podge (or you can substitute a similar collage medium). This is similar to a white glue that you use both under as an adhesive, and over as a ‘sealer’. We hope you love the project!!! Welcome aboard. Love, kathy

I think it would be a great time to start in at the start up of the new school year. I am so excited to share this activity with the girls. I also like the idea of allowing boys to do it, also. They are just as special. We all are. This is just a wonderful self empowering craft for any age. I love it! Thanks so much for sharing such an activity that has purpose.

    I would love to do this with my daughter as well and maybe even plan a summer Mother/Daughter Day with our mutual friends. We are already planning our summer activities and this would be perfect! They are in the vulnerable tween “mean girl” phase and it is a daily struggle to keep my daughter empowered and not dull her sparkle!
    Would you please share the pdf with us too?

    Thank you!

    This is beautiful. I love all the photos of the the interaction. I am a 2nd grade teacher and planned on having the kids use adjectives to describe themselves. I’m going to use inspiration from this site to bump up that activity with encouragement of how wonderfully made they are. If a pdf or template is available, I’d also enjoy receiving a copy. Thank you so much!

    I love this idea. Did you just print out a ton of different words and fonts? And are the messages in the hearts from their mothers? If it is at all possible I would love a template for the face and maybe some of the words?
    Thank you for your inspiration.

    LOVE the project and your organization! We wish you were in CT! Like many others, we would like to do this project with our school and are interested in some of the templates you used (i.e.- descriptive words, faces, etc.). We are hoping to implement this project for “Self-Love” month in January. Thank you for all that you do!

    I love this idea! I would like to use it on the first day of school with all of my 5th graders, boys and girls. Did you type up all the descriptive words and print them out ahead of time or did the girls request certain words and you printed them out? Awesome idea to build self-esteem and a great getting-to-know-you activity!

    Love, love, LOVE this post!! What a fabulous activity… I’m already thinking about how much my high-school students would benefit from this. Girls are bombarded with so many messages from the media, this is a powerful activity to build confidence about their unique beauty.

    Thanks for sharing!

    I am super excited to take this course with my 10-year-old daughter. I wasn’t able to attend any of the camps, so this will be the next best thing. I loved Soul Restoration and I’m sure this will be a great experience for me and Isabella.

    Thanks for offering this!

    Thank you Ladies for listening to the call to bring mothers and daughters, side by side to experience the unique gift of femininity they share. Having my two daughters, ages 15 and 12 are one of my life’s greatest gifts. I hope one day to experience your workshops with each of them.

    I was working on my soul book the other day when my daughter walked in and asked me what I was doing. I explained it, and the next time I looked up she had her cardboard cut out and asked me how I taped it into a book. I asked her what kind of book she was going to make thinking it would be for her drawings….she said she was going to make a soul book too. She has been writing her own affirmations…Stuff that wasn’t in the curriculum I was using. I was blown away! And her book was/is amazing and it came from her naturally! We are doing this mother daughter class! ABSOLUTELY! Did I mention she is almost 15 and I realize facing her own battles and outside influence. YOU all have been such a blessing! I had no idea what I had influenced by my own soul searching. That my pain made me seek help which in turn is giving her inspiration. Wouldn’t it be great if every girl that has been to these camps and takes this class finds a way to always follow peace so coping with those big scary happenings can be easier on them than it was on us? Thank you Brave Girls Club. Thank you Kathy and Melody.
