We have all sorts of "adventures" planned while my grandchildren visit so I made these merit badges to reward their efforts. All but the Firefly Hunter badges are from Urban Threads. I came up with a firefly patch since my grandson has his heart set on catching some them. It is stitched in glow in the dark thread - the second photo kinda shows the glowing effect. Thanks for looking!

What a great idea. They are well done and I am sure the grandchildren will be honored to receive them.

Thanks so much! During a recent SKYPE session with them my, 6 year old grandson showed off his football (soccer) trophy, the 4 year granddaughter displayed her excellent school report card and urged on by their mum, my 2 year old granddaughter stood in front of the iPad clutching a copy of "Hungry Caterpillar" and said, "I have a book" . So sweet and sorta sad, so I was determined to make her something to be proud of, too. Making everyone the same things, I thought would make her feel like the "big kids".

They love showing off all their awards/certificates, etc. I hope they'll be pleased "earning" these, too. Hugs*Deb
