Guest Posted October 11, 2006 Posted October 11, 2006 Just thought I would share, these little people were a great success today, playing with their 'big' owners. They behaved themselves, tidied up and joined in at circle and story time straight away. They live in the 'Preschool family box' although some insisted on going home with their parents, but promised they would come back tomorrow, because if their 'big' owner isn't in Peggy and all their friends miss playing with them Peggy p.s. If you turn me around, I hold my hand up and say "stop running" or "stop and listen" but I didn't get turned around today
Guest Posted October 11, 2006 Posted October 11, 2006 Hi Peggy how lovely given me some more ideas can see my half term being busy with all these lovely ideas people keep sharing and it's always nice to put a face to a name, now i know who i'm chatting, or typing to Jo
AnonyMouse_5677 Posted October 11, 2006 Posted October 11, 2006 They are excellent - want to make them now!!
Guest Posted October 11, 2006 Posted October 11, 2006 How did you make the life size models Peggy? They look great! Do you change the pics so diff children are out each day?
AnonyMouse_2760 Posted October 11, 2006 Posted October 11, 2006 R they life sized or mounted on toilet roll holders its hard to tell but fantastic
Guest Posted October 11, 2006 Posted October 11, 2006 HI Peggy, Loved them!, Nice to put a face to a name as well Dawn
Guest Posted October 11, 2006 Posted October 11, 2006 R they life sized or mounted on toilet roll holders its hard to tellbut fantastic I was rather hoping they were mounted onto corks from Merlot wine bottles!
AnonyMouse_1027 Posted October 11, 2006 Posted October 11, 2006 ha ha like it aspk...they are brilliant peggy
Guest Posted October 11, 2006 Posted October 11, 2006 Love the idea, great for self registration too. Blimey now my to do list will be longer!! Liz x
AnonyMouse_3735 Posted October 12, 2006 Posted October 12, 2006 Looks good peggy, i know it takes time to do this have done it before , we had laminated pictures on stands which were played with all the time, children loved using thier own models in the dolls house and those of their friends when they were away. They went home at the end of the year, Apparently this is used a lot in New Zealand, our PLA development worker visited and gave us all the idea to try here. Inge
Guest Posted October 12, 2006 Posted October 12, 2006 great pictures Peggy, as some one else said great to put a face to a name
Guest Posted October 12, 2006 Posted October 12, 2006 I was rather hoping they were mounted onto corks from Merlot wine bottles! Sorry, I buy 3 litre boxes of wine, bottles just jangle too much in the recycle They are on cardboard tubes and are about 5 inches high. However we have done life size models as well, rolled out wallpaper rolls, child lays down, we draw around body, child sticks material on for clothes, wool for hair, photo of face and choose the 'nearest' flesh colour paint for arms and hands. These are hung from the ceiling, will post photo later. Peggy
Guest Posted October 12, 2006 Posted October 12, 2006 Peggy, that is such a fab idea- Guess what we are gonna be doing next week
Guest Posted October 12, 2006 Posted October 12, 2006 Sorry, I buy 3 litre boxes of wine, bottles just jangle too much in the recycle Peggy Now that's the best excuse I've ever heard!!! 3 litre boxes from now on
AnonyMouse_4495 Posted October 13, 2006 Posted October 13, 2006 I've never seen these done before - what a fab idea!! However we have done life size models as well, rolled out wallpaper rolls, child lays down, we draw around body, child sticks material on for clothes, wool for hair, photo of face and choose the 'nearest' flesh colour paint for arms and hands. These are hung from the ceiling, will post photo later. Peggy I did this at Christmas one year. The children wanted to do a big display, so we decided to do carol singers. THe children drew round each other, cut themselves out and we spent days discussing what clothes to wear, what materials we would need, how to stick them to the person, making lanterns etc etc. The only downside was that they were so heavy, they kept falling off the wall and setting the nursery alarm off (I don't think I was too popular) But the children enjoyed it and couldn't wait to show their parents!
AnonyMouse_4544 Posted October 13, 2006 Posted October 13, 2006 Ive done the life size display but love the mini people Peggy great idea
AnonyMouse_3975 Posted July 2, 2008 Posted July 2, 2008 At my sons primary/junior school, they had an artist come in and the children all drew a lifesize picture of themself and the artist transferred it onto the playground walls - they are still there now and my son is amost 18. I love the models Peggy - will be making some myself. smiles
