Storybook Character Project

Sofia was assigned a project due October 24th.  The project was to create her favourite storybook character out of a vegetable/fruit.  Along with her creation she was to write a book report about the storybook.

So who was Sofia's favourite?  No surprise....Nancy Clancy, better known as Fancy Nancy. This summer Sofia read the first chapter book about Fancy Nancy.  It was "Nancy Clancy:  Super Sleuth".  And why is she her favourite?  Fancy Nancy loves mysteries.  Fancy Nancy likes to solve mysteries.  Fancy Nancy likes fancy things.

I enjoyed watching Sofia go about accomplishing the project.  First of all, she made a list (much to her daddy's delight) of what she would need.  I then took her shopping for the components.  A gourd, googly eyes, yarn, jewels, cloth and pipe cleaners.  Then she set about creating with her glue gun and materials.

Sofia was so proud of her creation.  Fancy Nancy in her fancy sleuth jacket with a jeweled-magnifying glass for solving mysteries.
