About 30 minutes before Ellie was to leave for school, we remembered she had a project due for her unit on dinosaurs. This poor child has parents who don't know scale -- check out that dinosaur compared to the volcano -- and apparently don't buy shoes because we couldn't find any shoe boxes for our diarama(sp?) project.
You don't want to know what this would have looked like if it were up to me alone. Nathan had the bright idea to use rice for the beach, blue play dough for the river, and a styrofoam cup for our volcano (covered in crushed oreos and colored sugar sprinkles). Lifting an image of a 'rainforest' off the internet and finding a sprig of fake greenery that had become separated from a plant in the center, we completed this project without spending a penny. I'm afraid you can tell.

But, if you pulled that off in 30 minutes, that's impressive! :)
Very Impressive! You can help my kids any day!
