Les hommes belges

Abram's AP Economics class had a project presentation today where each group represented a minor country at a class economic summit. Part of their grade was incorporating a native costume and food into the presentation. Abram's group was Belgium.

I put my papercrafting skills to work and made the guys some "wooden shoes" out of yellow posterboard. They were fantastique. We also cut out some mustaches from some leftover black fur. Abram dug out some sweaters and hats and, voila! The boys were ready.

For their food item, I made sugar cookies representing the Belgian flag. They turned out so cute. The boys used the cookies as leverage in their bargaining with the other countries.

Nice cobbling, Jill! Just when Dansko thought they had the corner on the market!

I love those kinds of projects! So much more entertaining and educational than written questions on a paper or a 50 year old film strip! Good job on the cobbling and the cookies! Jill gets an A++ also:)
