My nine-year-old son had a school project to create a product that kids would want to buy. This product had to be made with things around the house. After a huge search, we found balloons and sand.
"Let's make balloon heads!" he said.
That sounded like a plan.
My son attempted to fill the balloons, but with a broken wrist, it was a little difficult. "Mama, can you do this?"
I nodded and grabbed a funnel. It was quite a job filling those things. And after each one was filled, I had to blow up the balloon in order to distribute the sand evenly. Of course that resulted in a mouth full of sand.
"Blah!" I said. "Eating sand is not fun!"
Bubba looked at me with a serious expression on his face. "Mama, you should be grateful. At least your whole head isn't full of sand like these guys!"
Hehe! Grateful indeed! Those are cute balloons and pretty ingenious to fill them up with sand and draw the faces on them. :)
ReplyDeleteThe kids at school thought they were great, too!
DeleteLOL He always looks on the bright side! :)
ReplyDeleteYes, he does!
Deleteyes, you is so ungrateful :PPPP
ReplyDeleteBad Mama!
DeleteThey're very cute sand heads :)
ReplyDeleteI thought he did a nice job with the faces.
DeleteLOL he has a point
ReplyDeleteI should count my blessings!
DeleteWell at least he knows you have a brain.
ReplyDeleteYvonne.
Maybe. My head could be filled with air, though, instead of sand. ;0)
DeleteI've always known your head isn't full of sand. That's a cute project.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Janie
Haha! Thanks for the vote of confidence!
DeleteLol! Great project and he had a good answer too!
ReplyDeleteWe had fun with this project!
Delete*LOL* Always look on the bright side! Hehehe.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if he'd be so cheery if his mouth was full of sand!
DeleteThese are so cool! How fun (not the sand in your mouth, but at least you son found a bright spot). ;) Looks like these could work as a stress ball, too. Maybe not with a face on them... Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteMy son loves stretching them and throwing them on the ground. Unbelievably, they don't break!
DeleteI love a child's perspective lol.
ReplyDeleteThey do have interesting ways of thinking!.
Deleteyeah, jeez, Shelly, why aren't you grateful?? ;)
ReplyDeleteBeing from Texas, maybe she's had sand in her head and knows first-hand what it's like! ;0)
DeleteBubba. Such an optimist. :)
ReplyDeleteBubba, looking on the bright side is always refreshing.
ReplyDeleteHe does have a rather optimistic outlook on life!
DeleteThat is an inspirational idea
ReplyDeleteNow don't you want to go make some sand head balloons for yourself? ;0)
DeleteGritty sand can be rather irritating!
