For our daughter’s 4H miniature club, they were tasked with creating a book-themed miniature display for this year’s 4H Fair. For her book, she chose The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe, the classic by C.S. Lewis from his Chronicles of Narnia series. It was cool to see all of the details that she created using random objects, including the miniature wardrobe, of course! How many references to The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe can you find in her display?
If you were a kid from the 60s through the 80s, you most likely played with a view-master. I remember looking through one to view the Grand Canyon in 3D. There were lots of ones from National Parks, scenes from kids cartoons and shows, and lots of Disney movies. I. came across a set of ones from the Pee-wee’s Playhouse, the quirky Saturday morning show from my youth that launched a series of cult films with it’s odd-ball title character, Pee Wee Herman. Using some cork plant pads and Mod Podge, we transformed the reels into coasters to add a fun nostalgic look to the coffee table.
We recently took our son to see the Harlem Globetrotters play, so when it came time to create his potato character, we weren’t surprised at his pick. The basketball is even made out of a small potato.
