Here comes the Big Bad Wolf!

In Grade 7, Hasan had a Fairy Tale Monologue assignment. He chose to do the Big Bad Wolf from The Three Little Pigs story. He was supposed to be dressed as the character so the challenge for me had begun! I didn't want to spend any money on this project. There are wolf masks for sale online but they were pretty expensive for something that would be used only once and it wouldn't have arrived on time. After a lot of googling I came across a video from Scribble. The only thing I had to buy to make the mask was masking tape.

Work in progess

It took me an afternoon to make this and I loved the whole process. It's been a long time since I've done something like this. For the claws, we already had at home the claw gloves Hasan is wearing. We had bought them for Bilal from Ikea when he was in SK.

Overall, it turned out really good and Hasan did an amazing job on the monologue. It was hilarious and I couldn't stop watching it! His teacher loved it so much that she will be using it the following year to show the next class as an example.

Craft Stick Fish

I saw this craft in Easy Fun Crafts with Everyday Items . I have a bunch of craft sticks and it looked very simple. In the book they used bigger sticks...mine were the size of Popsicle stick. I didn't have enough of one colour so I mixed it up. I let Hasan pick the colours. We glued a couple of magnets on the back and Hasan gave it to his Nani (maternal grandmother).

Toilet Paper Roll Octopus

I saw this craft a long time ago and thought it would be good to do with Hasan. It's pretty simple and I've seen it on numerous websites . The hardest thing for Hasan was waiting for the paint to dry. We completed it in two days because Bilal woke up early from his nap after Hasan was done painting.

Styrofoam Jellyfish

I saw this craft on Crafts by Amanda . Hasan made the ones pictured above and although they don't look as good as the ones Amanda made, he had a lot of fun making them which is the goal of any activity we do. In the original craft you are supposed to paint the styrofoam half which would look really good. I didn't do that because then I would have the boys start the craft and then have to make them wait for the paint to dry before they could continue. I wanted to complete this craft in one sitting. I was also lazy to get the googly eyes so Hasan just drew them on with a marker. Bilal had a hard time with this craft and in the end just played with the pipe cleaners.
