Logan's book report

Logan had to do a book report this week which included a special project. He had to choose between making a crossword puzzle, drawing a new book cover for his book (which I thought he should do, duh?) and making puppets and putting on a puppet show about his book. He chose the last one, puppets! So we made some puppets.


First he tried to just draw them on the socks. It didn't turn out so well. I didn't want to waste more socks, so we just turned them inside out! You can kind of see the marker thru the sock in some places. Ooops. We got out my fabric and made clothes and bought yarn for hair. We tried to make them look as much like the picture as possible. We even made Junie a crown!

Of course we waited until the night before to do it. But they turned out really cute! In fact his teacher liked them so much, she had him take them to the library and put them on display! This class project was actually fun! I do need to start trying to teach him not to procrastinate though. I wonder where he gets that from?
