Mini me's

So a little while ago, Mr. Castell started a project for the children that would hopefully be used in everyday play experiences. It started off with just a few children that we got to pose for a picture, each separate. From there we printed each picture on a full page of paper and glued them onto their own piece of cardboard and cut out the bodies.  Now we had mini versions of the children, but nothing to keep them standing... Lucky for us, Mr. Buckley had some scrap pieces of wood that he rigged up for us to use as a base.  After sanding the edges down, we now had standing "mini me's". Now that we had a prototype perfected, it was time to make one for each child in PreSchool2... And teachers. 









"I'm standing beside myself!"




This project will hopefully help us observe how the children interact with the peers they normally don't interact with, and eventually bring them closer.

  1. This is the coolest idea ever. I am super curious to see how the kids will use them to characterize themselves and each other. Great initiative!
