Fancy dress, fancy that!

Some fancy dress ideas that are different and fun.

Death Star


The first was for a "May the Fourth" day at work for dressing up as Star Wars characters. I decided to dress up as a Death Star rather than the usual suspects. You should be able to spot me in the picture below - I did not supply gaps for my arms so working at the computer was very difficult that day :-)

To give you an idea of how to go about creating this master piece then check out the following images. It was a few different sized hula-hoops joined together and coated in paper.

Or how about getting a lab jacket and adding some additional iron on lettering. This was for a James Bond themed night out.

Knowledge Bomb eXperiment - books not bombs!

-

Inspired from a bag with the image "Books not Bombs" - a real experiment that could be tested in the real world. Pick a war, any war then drop books instead of bombs, drop knowledge instead of destruction, drop help and remove fear, drop equipment (microscopes, telescopes) to investigate the world rather than destroy it ... The amazing thing about this thought, this idea is that it can be tried now, today, at this very moment and the results can be checked. Military still get to fly sorties and dodge missiles, but the bombs hold knowledge of this world to help them improve their lives - from the greatest writers of our time. I would rather see depleted books lying around rather than depleted uranium! Contents of a Knowledge Bomb?

Chalkboards for Learning

Whilst living on a boat we had to create areas of interest for our daughter Mia to play in. When creating a doorway to cover the hatch exit we covered it in chalkboard paint so it could be used for lot of different things: Learning to draw and write with Mia Writing notes Leaving messages for other people So I say we can take this idea further just like in the image below and have chalkboards on every childs bedroom wall. Providing a fun learning area that is reusable and cheap to get up and running. I think this should be supported by governments and companies as a cheap and fun way to teach children and provide them with an area of creativity. So a simple kit would contain the following: enough paint to create a 2m x 2m square paint brush instructions on how to use the new "chalkboard for learning" chalk to last for a month sign up to receive a quarterly newsletter on activities for the chalkboard Number counting with Rainbow Dash ...

A Garden Zoo with Friends

After moving house and collecting a lot of cardboard packaging - what to do with it all? Straight down to the tip? Well the first load went that way and then I thought, hey maybe I can do something with this stuff? So 30 minutes later with my daughter insisting on helping me we had a larger than life "Upsy Daisy" and a "Snap Happy Annie" Crocodile in the garden made from cardboard packaging from Ikea . These look great and our little girl couldn't help but drag the 2d characters around the garden and gave them great big hugs.   Could this be taken further - maybe drop some characters in a park (nice ones only please). Build a Zoo in the city? Not too many now or else the cardboard will get everywhere but for special occasions and fun.
