Day 22 - Spinners!

During camp, we were honored to have the amazing Squonk Opera come and perform for us!  My campers loved them.  One of the things they really liked about Squonk's stage set-up was the wall of "spinners."  (My apologies to Squonk for not knowing your official term for them.)  They look like this.....

 During the show they spin!  Pretty cool, huh?

Here are some of the Spinners that the campers made.  :)

Our Spinners didn't spin, but we still had a blast making them.  Thanks again to Squonk Opera for the show and for the inspiration.  You helped teach my campers that using your imagination is fun and cool.
