We also made a Voki each. A Voki is kind of like a cartoon. We each got to make one that we liked. We recorded our voices on the microphone and added our voice to our cartoon Voki. Mrs Klose asked us to talk about the puppets we made for the Art Show. We said what our puppet was, and also what it has or is made of.
Enlarge the handles of a plastic shopping bag by trimming the bag’s sides, front, and back as shown. Fold two pipe cleaners in half and loop each around a handle of the bag. Twist the ends of the pipe cleaners around the shoulders of a sturdy plastic action figure or doll.
When your paratrooper’s ready to fly, fold the bag in half, grab the fold, and whip him up into the wild, blue yonder.
Thaumatropes are a great toy you can make yourself. You need something long and round, like a chopstick or a straw (although there are some versions that use rubber bands, or strings), and 2 pieces of paper or card the same size and shape (you could use one, and just fold it in hald). Stick the paper or card on either side of the stick or straw, so it looks a bit like a lollipop. Think of two things that could go together to make one picture, and draw one of those things on each side.
Due to a trick of your eyes called ‘persistence of vision’, when you spin it really fast, you will see the two pictures seem to join together to make one picture!
