The old made new again
Oh to be a kid again – sometimes….
But here’s one way to play at least a little bit with one of the great “old” toys. Remember Mr. Potato Head? I even had Mrs. Potato Head and had a blast playing with them. As I got older I thought that their “storage compartment” was hysterical and even now kind of wish that my “storage compartment” would be so easy to unload! LOL!
ANYWAY presenting....Mr. Picassohead – Fun site that would be great to play with on a Smartboard/Whiteboard – have a couple of students create a “head” and then have a writing activity based around the emotions expressed by the face, or a poem about how the head came to look that way, or a story about this alien who just happened to show up in our class…………
You could also just flip through the gallery for some inspiration for that writing assignment. Here is the one that I created in about 3 minutes.
And guess what? You also sneaked in some learning about a particular artists’ style. shhh…don’t tell the kids you did that…kind of like extra vitamins in the milk shake…:)
