My Mom's birthday is tomorrow. She's already gotten a card from me, but if I had forgotten I most assuredly would have resorted to making my own.
Either that, or printing out one of these. They're a long way from that Print Shop garbage I used to play around with.
For people who want to build things on their fridge but don't care for magnetic poetry, I give you this!
I'm not sure I would want to show my students how to burn things with a magnifying lens, but this set of instructions for how to engrave things with sunlight has me wondering what items I have that might just hold up against a few char marks.
Perhaps I should be more worried about what my wife would say. ;)
Every now and then I find a website that just makes me think of one of my sisters. This site, for example, made me think of how the older one has a new place. (I admit it, I want to make these shelves. I don't think Gretchen would use these, and I don't think Kelli would let me make these, myself.)
And of course, she has a soft spot for anything with skulls on it. Not my first choice of decoration for a DIY reusable fabric coffee cuff, but to each their own...
I've used a similar technique in my lessons using drawings instead of photos, but this is still a fun thing to try out.
That being said, this site has some really cool instructions on how to make paper planes that take a little more skill.
Oh, how I would love to make one of these things! I would name it Fred.
...now where can I find the parts I would need... ?
Ok, only one more link before bed, just in case I DON'T have a snow day tomorrow....
Here's a neat way to marbleize paper that I haven't tried before. Of course I wouldn't do this with the students I have now (can you imagine kindergarteners melting crayons?), but on my own time? I think that might be worth an attempt.
Come on, I know you're curious...
I've mentioned paper creations before, but this site is better - where else can you make a paper model of Optimus Prime that actually transforms?
