We have a saying in our home: “We don’t play with garbage.” Generally speaking, this applies to everything – paper trash, cans, “real” garbage, and anything in between. Around Christmastime, though, the older boys started turning paperboard boxes (think cereal) into sculptures. Munchkin started this trend with several models of the Eiffel Tower. He gifted some of them to neighbors, attached a piece of yarn to the top of one to put on our tree as an ornament, and made a bigger one for Will’s home office. (Somehow, I’m missing pictures of the Eiffel Towers, unfortunately.)
Then Seahawk got in on the game. He made a model of the Space Needle, which now resides in his dad’s office as well.
Finally, Munchkin made one of Big Ben.
Since they finished the famous landmarks, they’ve moved on to making other things – primarily Star Wars ships (that’s what I’m told they are, anyway; not being into Star Wars, I don’t really know). They’ve purchased aluminum foil to make their creations “shiny,” and even though it’s messy, I like seeing their finished products.
They’ve done a really nice job with these sculptures. It’s really neat to see their creativity flow so well.
Blessings,
Wow – great job on those!! They worked hard at getting the details just right. Very creative! Thanks for sharing these on the Virtual Fridge!
