Mystery Bag Challenge!

For a recent class, I put random items (for instance: magnets, rubber bands, packing materials, toilet paper rolls, cables from the inside of my dead computer) into brown paper bags and let the students choose one apiece. Whatever was inside had to become a book. Given the time and material restraints, I was amazed at what they came up with...sooooo creative!

Look at them hard at work...












From a square-ish piece of bubble wrap, an Anthropologie ad, and some telephone wire, Kate made "Satellite T.V. in Iceland"...












From five empty toilet paper rolls, Michelle made a lovely, rabbit-y children's story...









From a curly magnet and some leftover burlap, Rose made the first book-y watch I've ever seen...










From a handful of wooden skewers, Amy created a stab-bind book about trees...












From a plastic Coca Cola bottle, Jane made a snow globe book...










From the IDE wires inside my old Sony Vaio CPU, Lindsey made a book about space...













From a fold-out map and the cut-off spiral spine of a (former) strathmore drawing pad, Katie made a voyage book of her own...
