Tulips

20/11 - 2017 The Tulips celebrated Universal Children's Day together with the rest of Futuraskolan. We had a lot of fun creating bracelets and necklaces using nothing less than our own pictures. To further decorate them we also had flags, where I'm proud to say we all know our own as well as our friends, but we could of course, in honor of all countries and cultures, pick flags freely.We also used pre-cut (we cut) straws and penne pasta. We found it challenging but exciting and we also detected that the pasta was so much thinner than the straw that it went right through, a surprise bracelet in other words as the pasta was only sometimes visible.
