Chinese Lantern

Throw away
Something unexpected has happened with this give away/throw away project... My daughter is right into it!

In the past, if I wanted to clear up some old school project clutter, I would need to wait for months or even years before guiltily, furtively throwing out the item - and then hope that no one would notice.

Now, it's all out in the open. My daughter was thrilled that this Chinese Lantern was selected for the honour of inclusion in the blog. Ironically, since this particular school project was fast-tracked for destruction, it will be remembered much better than countless other ones that were hidden away in a closet or drawer for years and forgotten.

For the record, the Chinese Lantern was made by covering a balloon in glue, wrapping it in string, leaving it for 2 days, then popping and removing the balloon. It was pretty cool.
