It's a Coat Hanger Book Report - and he did one with just pictures when he was in first grade - but the basic idea is that you use index cards to give your summary and some basic information about the book and attach them to a coat hanger like a mobile. The painting of the stenciled letters - to look like the book cover - took a long time as we had to wait for each letter to dry before we could paint the next one - except for K and L - hehe...
The Man-Cub wanted to use lots of pictures - those weren't required but they make a much nicer mobile...
The finished mobile - that was a lot of yarn tying - good thing we learned the square knot in Scouts...
...and here's the play by play...
That book was one of the reason's my boyfriend and I ended up on a first date! I love the mobile! What a fun project.
