A magnet was glued on the back of the little Brownie and she went home to be put on the refrigerator. Then whenever a "chore" or something special would be done (without being asked), the Brownie would place the puppet where the special job had been done. For example, if the bed was made without a reminder from mom, then the "Brownie" was laid upon the bed. Then Mom would acknowledge that there was a real Brownie in the house by returning it to the refrigerator. It was an excellent tool to teach our new Brownies about Girl Scouting and that service begins at home.
