Dustbowl Arrangements

ST.#1

Make cut-out houses and cars. Put these in a small area in your kitchen or living room.

ST.#2

Make a bunch of cut-out yellow patches and put them on and around these houses and cars. Draw little people in the windows of the houses (if your houses have windows).

ST.#3

Make the yellow patches move around a bit. Do this a lot and you'll have a dustbowl!

Happy Ruination Day with Titanic and Dustbowl crafts!

"TITANIC" arrangement

I have a "TITANIC" diagram:

ST.#1

First you cut out a picture of "TITANIC".
Remember keep the scissors out!

ST.#2

Now you cut out a iceberg.
(Don't put the scissors away!)

ST.#3

At 11:30 pm (or am if you have to go to sleep before 11:30 pm) put up the cut out picture of the Titanic and the iceberg on a wall or refrigerator or anywhere. Make the Titanic hit the iceberg.

ST.#4

Cut out water and a few life boats. Stick them onto the wall. (Put the water under the titanic. Put the lifeboats near it.)

ST.#5

Now you slowly make the Titanic tilt into the water. When the stern is almost all the way pointing to the top use the scissors to cut it in half.

ST.#6

Now make the stern pop back on top of the water then make it and the bow start sinking in the water.

ST.#7

Cut out another ship shape. Make this one smaller than the Titanic. This will Carpathia. Put it at least several feet away from the falling Titanic. Slowly move it closer to the Titanic.

ST.#8

Draw people on the lifeboats: a bunch of females and kids, very few males. Out of yarn or popsicle sticks make a net tic-tac-toe-style. Put the net on the side of Carpathia. (Titanic should be at the floor right now.)

ST.#9

Put the lifeboats into the nets, and lift them onto Carpathia. Now you're finished!

I made a fort with Cindy.  We turned over the couch and chair. It was super duper cool and wicked cool.
