I am a Tiger Den leader, for the When I grow up theme I just cut up empty tp tubes 1/2 in wide the boys drew something to represent their future career on foam stock, cut them out and used school glue. They fit over the brass slide and the kids had a blast making them. I know that some of the other months the planning guide had suggest other slides but the cost of the materials were too much for den due to support. We have a1so made them with pipe cleaners and what ever cheaper craft supplies we had already purchased.
