Minecraft Class at Springwood Library

Have a look at these FANTASTIC Minecraft heads made today by some creative kids @ Springwood Library! 

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. 

Minecraft @ Katoomba Library

Here are some images from today's Minecraft Workshop at Katoomba Library. We made Minecraft heads to wear, as well as paper blocks (diamonds, grass and chests) and cardboard pickaxes. I didn't get a chance to take a photo of everyone's work - so apologies if your Minecraft head isn't here. I hope everyone enjoys the last bit of the school holidays!

Today’s class was a winner. The works all looked awesome. Based on 8-bit / pixel images (think Mario Bros., Nyan Cat etc), the class used graph paper, and crayons to create their own self-portraits, characters, vehicles and more!
