Side Projects

Iyana made this paper mache flying pig using balloon, tissue paper, and a pink pipe cleaner tail. It all got started when I had the brilliant idea to make paper mache cupcake piggy banks. The students went to see "Pinkilicious" the play, so I thought they'd like that. We used paper mache for the shape of cupcake and spackle for icing. It was not such a brilliant idea. A lot of work, a big mess, and they did not turn out well. Most of them are still unfinished. Whoops! I was better off making Flying Pigs like Iyana!!

The 3rd floor girls LOVE using craft string. Here are a few pens that the girls designed.
