Well I've got weeks off from University so Jess and I have little art projects after school with her Mermaid and Pirates theme so far the Jim Henson in me has been doing:
1. Fish toss game:
a series of fishes will be posted in the garden with their mouths open ...the object of the game is to get the bean bag into the different fishes for points. The fish are paper mache and the bean bags are felt material with old lentils.
2. Treasure chest pulina:
Instead of bashing it with a stick (fears one of the over energetic boys will be batting the other children with a stick
) it will be a pullina style so everyone gets a chance to pull a string
3. Puppet
It's felt and foam made from a nicked pattern off the web (
) I'm stumped on whether to make it a mermaid or a pirate..It started out as a pirate but my DH keeps joking it says it's a gay pirate ..
I used an old boa for the hair as I didn't have any yarn
when everything is complete I'll post the results after the party all will be donated to jess' reception class (except the pinata ...I don't think that'll survive.
)
