Here's my boat, made from Ann Wood's tutorial. I'm going to simplify the sail for the kids. I made mine from fabric, and hand sewed it.

boats
I read about this fabulous project from Ann Wood and had to try it with the kids. As usual, I'm just one step ahead of them, and will be assembling my mast and sail this week at home, to teach it to them next week! Here they're make boats, from cereal boxes and papier mache-ing them.

Here are a couple of the papier mache boats drying in the sun. We'll paint them next week and add masts and sails.
Papier mache
Some of the kids got their boats finished in time to create more figures (with aluminum foil as the armature) and we also covered plastic Easter eggs with papier mache. We'll paint everything next week.

Masks!
Brian collected a whole bunch of palm fronds in Grape Day Park, during the last rain storm. So, the kids designed and painted masks on the fronds. Here I am, showing them the process.

draw the design in chalk
Then, they drew the design again, with chalk, on to the mask. We soon realized the palm frond had a hole where the nose would be, so some redesign was neccessary.
