Every year, each grade level at Valley Oaks Elementary has to complete a major research project. In Kindergarten Katie had to build a model of a spider for the "Bug Fair", in 1st grade, she had to build a model of an Australian home for the "World Feast", and this year in 2nd grade, she has to make a bird for the "Bird Fair". She chose the Robin. The project is not due until next week, but we have a busy family schedule for the next 2 weeks, so we decided to finish early.
Katie's Robins are made of felt, which Katie cut-out (after I traced the patterns). I then sewed two halves together, and Katie stuffed them. (Chris sewed the last part together.) We both hot-glued the red chest on, the darker brown wings, and finally the 'googly-eyes'. Katie formed the nesting material. Lastly, we found a package of small wooden eggs at the craft store, so Katie painted them blue all by herself!
She's inherited her craft-skills from her mommy! Yay!
