Max came home with a special homework assignment last week. He was supposed to come up with some sort of "spooky box" to display in his classroom during halloween week. It was supposed to be a diorama in a shoebox, using whatever materials he wanted.
So Max and I brainstormed and came up with what I think is a pretty good idea. A spooky ocean box.
We painted our shoebox last night and then this afternoon all three of us worked together to make spooky cranky ocean animals.
Then I glued everything into place.
(Max is working on some other self-directed project here. Suddenly plenty to do when there's homework!!)
Here's the box, I think it turned out super fun looking.
I like the two headed snakes slithering along the ocean floor amid Kris's seaweed.
I'm frightened of this shark--he looks like he would easily bite somebody's leg off. And you can't see the fish he's chasing very well, but that poor fish looks pretty dismayed.
An awesome group of ghostly jellyfish.
Snakes hiding behind the anemones.
Successfully (and definitely oddly) spooky I think. He turns it in tomorrow, I think his teacher will like it! She'd better anyway.

I love it very much. Very much. Love, love, love. I love the colors and the sparkle, and the ghost jelly fish and the mean shark and the distressed fish. I love this tons and tons. YAY Max. Yay Mom and Dad. It's a beautiful, terrifying box, and I will probably never swim in the ocean again. Or at least, not in THAT ocean.
Wonderful piece of work---and deliciously described.
Love you all
Hang on
Dad
I like the 2 headed snake. This project turned out great! His teacher WILL love it. How could she not?
I think his teacher WILL like it! I bet this is the best and most creative. Well done!
