We Have To Call It School and Toys From Trash and More

I have been into toy making lately. I think it is because I recently purchased some hand made wooden toys. I have also been reading more about unschooling. The following are web pages I have found fascinating and a link to a documentary.

Folding School is a web page with directions for making cardboard furniture for children. I think it would be to hard for a child to make alone but i bet a child would love to decorate it paining it drawing on it covering with stickers.

Toys From Trash is an amazing web page with all sorts of inspirational ideas about simple and complex toys and science projects people can create I especially love this one. The home page for the whole site is also interesting.

I don’t know if this “school” is still around but it reminds me some of the high school I went to. My high school was a lot more structured. This is a 1978 documentary called We Have To Call It School and it is about a free school in Copenhagen.

While it might not seem mouse related. Pigeons are often thought of as rats with wings and rats are kind of like large mice. This also related to little mouse in that someday I may be able to do the pigeon with little mouse 🙂
