Iceburgs

At SLC we have a whole huge closet full of consumable materials - mainly recyclables. We love (LOVE) this closet and the inventory changes all the time as we use items and "new" things are donated. But every now and then we have something that gets overlooked, maybe because it's hidden or maybe because we aren't sure just what to do with it. Such was the case with these papier mache' triangle thingies shaped like pyramids. I knew they'd make fabulous iceburgs. The kids absolutely loved them! We had a waiting list to get to the art table!! The Bunnies painted their iceburgs with white paint and glue, then they sprinked them with glitter "snow" and added die cut penguins. I'm not quite sure exactly why these were so attractive to the children, but I'm going to keep investigating. Perhaps it was the 3D aspect??
