Cardboard and Costumes in Extended Day



Morah Estee gave us another large box and we made a rocket ship. The children drew on the box with Sharpies. They then added stickers and Washi tape. We cut another piece of cardboard in half and used it to make the wings of the rocket ship. Then the children drew a window on the box for the Morahs to cut out.


 


The children have been including the rocket ship and cardboard structures in their dramatic play. They dress up and bring materials inside.



“We are building a castle.” -Harper


They have become a sort of set for their various stories. The configurations change. Sometimes the houses are connected into one large compound.



Since boxes have been introduced as an art material, the children have started to use them to create costumes and accessories as well.


We now have a truck costume, a Brachiosaurus costume, purses, and various masks. 

“This is my Brachiosaurus costume.” -Logan

    
“I’m Captain Fire Poison.” -Emmett


“This is my King crown.” -Adom

“We are making my Queen Esther costume.” -Lily


Many of them are even sewing!


The children are continuing to make costumes with fabric as well. You can expect to see unicorns, princesses, queens, superheroes, a king, a panda, a laser beam, and a bunny.


Come to our fashion show on Siyyum Night to see even more of your children's amazing creations!
