| | {move over martha and a giveaway of sorts}
yesterday, in Emma's science we were studying entomology.
yes. I didn't know what that was either.
until yesterday.
it's the study of insects.
and of course, entomology just sounds way more professional than sayin plain old, we're looking at bugs!
at the end of the lesson it suggested you make your own insect from materials you could find around your house.
emma wanted a spider.
so. I got the brilliant idea of using a toilet paper roll for the body.
and then, what better to make perfect bugged out eyes with than. marshmallows!
from the picture in her book she said we needed "fangs."
and after a little searching I decided chocolate chips would do.
haven't you always thought that when you saw a chocolate chip..
"gee. that looks like a fang!" ;)
then. emma took all our body parts and glued them together. and here it is~
our toilet paper, marshmallow eyed, chocolate chip fanged spider.
oh. and legs cut from paint sample strips!
when we saw our finished product we both laughed till our sides hurt.
I thought it might look better if it weren't stuffed with the tissue paper...
uh. it didn't!!! ;)
{for the giveaway:: caption this shot}
it just goes to prove two things.
1st grade science projects really aren't as easy as they sound.
and. sometimes messing up the 1st grade science project makes for a better memory than getting it right!
