My Daughter's science fair project board

The whole board

 Okay, so I should totally be in bed right now but I wanted to post what's been keeping me away. The science fair. I don't really help my daughter with the project because that wouldn't be fair but who can resist the board?! Oh, how I love to do the board. This year, she decided to do a project with sand so I decided no glitter ... but shaker cards!! Yup, the title and all the headers are shaker cards filled with either coarse sand (title) or silica sand (headers). While we didn't place this year, her board looked amazing and it was really fun to watch the people's reactions when they realized that there was sand behind the letters ... and it moved!!! I even had a teacher tell me that while they were setting up they all huddled around the board wanting to play with it. LOL.

Hello out there! I know it's been a LONG time since I've posted but man has it been a busy month!!! My daughter has a book report due on 2/4 and the theme was that it had to be a popup book based on a Newberry Award Winner. She chose Charlotte's Web. Such a lovely book and that one sentence at the end of the second or third to last chapter ALWAYS makes me cry! Sooo ... we happily worked on it today and it came out so cute that I wanted to share it with you all (SUCH A PROUD MOM MOMENT!) :P She had to use the two page format so it's not all that long. (Okay, I helped on the wood pieces on the inside ... shhh. Oh, and the lettering for the title on the front ... but that's it!) LOL.
