In this imaginative world-building workshop, Girl Scouts take inspiration from The New Children’s Museum’s immersive art installations to explore how artists create entire worlds. Scouts collaborate to design a large-scale topographic map from a bird’s-eye view, then bring it to life with handmade creatures and buildings crafted from cardboard. 

Activities include: 

  • Collaborative ink drawing exercises inspired by aerial landscapes 
  • Creating textured maps using DIY brushes and mark-making 
  • Designing and building cardboard creatures and structures 
  • Reflecting and sharing as a group 

This workshop blends art, design, and imagination and invites Girl Scouts to dream up their own creative worlds while earning the Art & Design Badge. 

Workshops are adaptable for all Girl Scout grade levels from Daisies to Seniors.
