More Minecraft!

Today was our second Minecraft workshop for the school holidays, this time at Lawson Library. After making the Minecraft heads, some kids went outside to test them out! Great work everyone :)

Minecraft heads:

*For these I bought cardboard mail package boxes from Officeworks

*We used coloured paper, scissors and glue-sticks to create the character designs

*I had a Stanley knife to cut square eyeholes for those who wanted them

Diamond swords and pickaxes:

*I printed two sword or pickaxe designs on thin card board

*Children cut the two symmetrical designs out, taped popsicle sticks inside for strength, and then glued the two pieces together. 

Papercraft:

*I printed off a few different paper craft cubes out (chest, dirt/grass block, diamond block) and kids cut and taped (or glued) them together.

Kites for the Winter Holidays!

At Katoomba Library today, I taught this Kite Workshop for kids. Firstly, students designed four kites on paper, and then selected their favourite design to use for the real kite. We used a kite kit each for the kites, which we assembled once the design was drawn on with fabric markers.
