I found a new site the other day with some great projects to do. The idea behind the projects is to make students think in new ways; to think outside the box. The challenges are inventive and creative in nature but also a lot of fun. I thought I would post the challenges on here so all of you can try them out.

Here is the first challenge:

Using the following materials, design a puppet that moves in at least two different ways. It may NOT be a hand puppet.

6 straws or pencils
a 12 x 12 square of aluminum foil
6 paper clips
6 inches of tape
paper
string

You may use scissors in construction but not in the solution.

If you want to take a picture of your creation to put on the blog, just send the picture to the class email.

Have fun!
