More Crafts - SCFF Entries (2 of 3)

Here are 2 of the 3 entries she is making in the Steele County Free Fair Youth Art Exhibits. They don't judge the preschool entries. It's mainly about just being able to publicly display something they made. The top picture is of her 3-D entry. It's a caterpillar made out of toilet paper tubes & bottle caps (as reused materials).

This is her hanging art exhibit. She calls it "Little Einstein's Rocketship and Musical Roller Coaster". You will need to click on the picture to make it bigger to see the swirled lines underneath the red rocketship that is the musical roller coaster. She loves that show.

There is one more entry she can do which is suppoed to incorporate Steely the Bull, the fair mascot. We came up with a generic title for it and faxed in her registration tonight (it is due tomorrow at the latest) since we have the other 2 done and she she titles for them. I have an idea or two of what I might have her work on. She needs to have it done by this coming Saturday when we have to drop the entries off.

Paper Bowl

I don't have a picture of the final product yet because it is still drying. She had a great time making this paper bowl and coudl do all of the steps. I don't own a sieve (just colanders) so we made due with reusing a plastic container as the mold and let it dry overnight so that it would hold shape and I could flip ove the top of a smaller container to dry the outside.

Her favorite part was squishing the excess water from the slurpy stuff. You can find the directions to make your own paper bowl here.

We started out with pink construction paper, but once we added the newspaper to it, it became putple, which she thought was pretty neat to see her paper change color.

Now I really want to make paper making frames so that Isabel & I can make some homemade paper. That would be fun and a neat gift.
