Reid decided to work with Sculpey clay. He created a little scene with two pyramids, including lots of pots and treasure. He even made the Nile river. We baked it in the oven and then after it cooled he painted it with acrylic paints. On the base piece he painted Elmers glue and then sprinkled sand from his sand box over it. He spent a long Saturday creating his scene to perfection.
Cort is really into rocks and gems, so he decided to build his pyramid from cardboard and then hot glue "gems" to it. He also glued a layer of bright patterned paper before putting on the gems (which I got from the dollar store). He made a pyramid that really POPS.
They were both really pleased with the results, and couldn't wait to present them in school.
Readers, how would you make a pyramid?
One day they will be out in the hay field building pyramids out of bales.
ReplyDeleteExcellent! Each different, each worthy of praise. Wow!
ReplyDeleteI do remember when Pierce made his. Cort and Reid are following in their big brother's footsteps. :)

Well stone would be an idea, but I think these are excellent choices and it's as interesting as it is creative!
ReplyDeleteI remember when Pierce did this.... Can't believe your twins are growing up so fast... I like both pyramids --but the colorful one really caught my eye...
ReplyDeleteI would have no idea how to make a pyramid.... ha
Hugs,
Betsy
Your boys are so creative, and you must be very proud of them!
ReplyDeleteWow, both did a great, creative job! I love the scene that Cort created, and I love the sparkly look of Reid's. It's such a fun way of learning things. If I were building one, I would probably use cardboard and glue things on it, and I'd like to try creating a scene around it, too.
ReplyDelete...imagination is a wonderful thing.
ReplyDeleteThese pyramids ROCK (pun intended)! The first one is SO good, and looks very realistic! And the second one is more like a beautiful art exhibit. If I ever did make a pyramid, it would not be near as good as these. Rock on, boys! I live seeing their art projects.
ReplyDeleteWell done with both projects, very creative
ReplyDeleteOlá Lisa, seus filhos são criativos...Espectacular....
ReplyDeleteCumprimentos
Nice looking pyramids. If I were their teacher they'd get an "A".
ReplyDeleteHow would I build a pyramid? I guess I would stack up cases of ammo! :-)
Those are both awesome. Not sure how I'd do mine, but they both came up with good idea.
ReplyDeleteI was always big on using posterboard creations. You can gentle score it and it bends marvelously. I once made Churchill Downs..including twin spires...in a shoe box diorama.
ReplyDeleteThose are excellent! I have some (plastic) pebbles like that too, from Dollar Tree. That store never ceases to amaze me!
ReplyDeleteThey both did an excellent job! When our daughter was younger she did a pyramid with sugar cubes and spray painted it gold.
ReplyDeleteThose are great! I love the gem pyramid!
ReplyDeleteThey both did great! I like that they had a similar project, but came up with entirely different results.
ReplyDeleteMy boys worked with paper mache today with Travis. Oh boy did they leave a mess!
o wat heerlijk om zo creatief bezig te zijn,een geweldig resultaat.
ReplyDeleteThey are both so cool and creative. My girls loved using sculpy!!! I think if I had to do one, I'd hit Pinterest for some clever ideas. :)
ReplyDeletei see they have diverse visions. No copying there.
ReplyDeleteLove those works! Rocks and gems really make fine pyramids. Bravo, kiddos..
ReplyDeleteWhat a neat project! I'm impressed how the boys had two very different ideas. I probably think of pyramids more like Reid does. I probably would have done something with rocks and sand. Cort's pyramid, however, is beautiful. I love the gems. They both put in a lot of effort--can I give them an A+?
