Fiona here from the SLJ team. Your balancing caterpillar looks so cool - ka pai! Well done for being so creative. It looks like it would have been pretty tricky to get the stones to balance like that.
I'm not sure if this counts as balancing art, but when I was a kid I used to sit for hours and try to balance playing cards on top of each other. We would have competitions in my family to see who could build the biggest card house. Have you ever done this?
Great question you have asked me! I had to put on my thinking cap to remember. I think about 5 cards high was the tallest card tower I built. How high have you been able to build with cards?
From memory, the trick was to have a really big base of cards for stability and to make two cards stand up and form a V shapes between layers!
Yes, I do remember trying to build little card tunnels! This is bringing back great memories... I think I will pull out the cards and have another go over the summer!
I'm Kylah from St Marys school I really like that you turned your balancing act into a caterpillar! was it tricky to stop them falling when you were balancing them? I also used river stones for mine and it was very tricky! mā te wā Kylah
Kia ora Molly,
ReplyDeleteWoah, this is so creative! Well done!
I really like how everything is leaning. Was it hard to keep it up?
I don't think I've ever even seen balancing art before but this is awesome!
