Mini-Mes!

Back in August when on summer holidays I read a post on ABC Does by Alistair on Mini-mes. I loved the idea & decided this was definitely something I wanted to do with my new class. As they settled in in the month of September I made sure to get a photo of every child. I think the best thing about the Mini-Mes is that every person making them will have their own version. I got the photos taken in September but only got round to putting them on blocks last week. I had chatted with Lesley from Takoma Park Cooperative Nursery School about this project & she had made hers with off cuts of fence posts.

Our caretaker had been going to make me some blocks from off cuts but he was just too busy elsewhere so I decided to use 27 of our Community Playthings unit blocks. 

 I have to say the Mini-Mes have been a big hit, it is so funny to hear the children saying 'Where am I?' 'Have you seen me?' and they refer to them as 'Kierna Block' as if it was a separate person!

    Wait! To be clear!!! I was all set to make this big production of these using short lengths of heavy cardboard tube filled with sand and taped up, etc. etc. THANK GOODNESS I happened to be talking to you because you gave me the idea to use the fence cut-offs. I had this whole bag of them waiting for that perfect project. Saved my life and got them made sooner rather than painstakingly later.
