We made Hundertwasser towers at art in our recycling unit. Children loved it. The rule is, do not go too high because as a teacher you will struggle. 4-5 cups and no more!

Papier mâché foxes
This was fun. A bunch of us walking to the playground to fill up the empty bottles with sand. There is a little road dividing the atelier from the playground and I had to stand in the middle of it for all of the kiddos to pass safely to the other side while the cars wait. Then the kids stopped too. And made a circle around me … eeem….. so we were all standing in the middle of the road for a while looking at each other. Who why how when… Ha! I don’t exactly go often with ten 6 year olds walking around the streets so I forget about the pre-announcements.
Anyway we survived and these foxes are cute. Children loved taking home something in a 3-D form being as well a sweet animal. It is a papier mache and I found the project following this amazing web site smallhandsbigart.
