Custom Slides! (5-24-08)

For this week's meeting, the Den and I came together to make some custom neckerchief slides!
It was a ton of fun and super easy.
Best of all, the boys really got into making them and adding their own flair to their projects.

I managed to get a small video of us hard at work...


When the boys were done, their final products were something to look at.

D.S. did great with the bottle cap and the stingray, but my favorites of his were the Chinese candy and the Listerine Breath Strips.
No more bad meeting breath for him! ;-)









M.S. was industrious as ever. He made three slides from his own stash of shiny knick-knacks. He also made a slide from a toy tank and a Martinelli's Sparkling Cider bottlecap.









M.G.P. chose some of the shinier doo-dads, making slides from an old micro-machine car, a sparkling water bottlecap and a pin from the Moran Eye Center inauguration.









J.W. got a big kick out of the bottlecap design. But his pride and joy came from the Pokemon Bulbasaur slide that his dad helped him make. Not too bad!









Finally, J.W.2 brought some of his own trinkets to make a couple of choice slides. Yeah, the tree frog's pretty cool. But the Red Ninja's my favorite of his.









What a great meeting. I hope we can try different craft project's like this again. It's so interesting to see their creativity at work!
