Type of House - Model for School Project - Red Indian Tipi/Tipee/Teepee

My second grader has to submit a project on type of house, where in they were asked to make a model of any one type of house.

I felt that hut, brick house and igloo is something very common. Most kids will make that. So we decided to make a Native Red Indian Tipi.

We used Drawing sheets to make a Tipi, two native red Indians, a Totem and a bon-fire. Some ready made felt flowers and horses were used to decorate the project.

visit this blog for a sample cutout shape of Tipi.

Here is our finalized model. We used old thermacol from AC box for the base. and rest of the things were erected on thermacol using toothpicks.

This time I forgot to take step wise pictures ..but from next time I plan to upload a details tutorial kind of blog to help other parents.

Ganpati from Quilling

One more year of Ganpati Festival , and here comes a new assignment. Make Ganpati idol without using clay or plaster of paris.

So we decided to do it with our favourite medium paper quilling.

With a little research on net to get an idea of how to go about it, we made this.

Use 1/2 cm quilling strips and 1" strips. Some embellishments and a small piece of cloth for dupatta.

And Voila !!

Final outcome .. my elder one was really pleased with it.

Beutiful isn't it... this has now become a permanent fixture of my art display wall  at home.
