Lesson #2 - 3D Design

The second lesson about 3D design was done by Amanda and Meghan. It was a 3rd grade lesson on making yarn balloon eggs. This was a very cool lesson that any student would enjoy doing. First, blow up a small balloon a certain size. After blowing up the balloon, we used different colored yarns to create our "egg". We first mixed together a paste like substance of glue and water. After that, we dipped our pieces of string in the paste and wrapped it around the balloon. We continued this process until we were pleased with our work. After placing the yarn around the balloon, you have to wait for it to dry and then you can pop the balloon. 

An extension activity could be for a math class and learning about circumference and distance. I think for this particular lesson a math lesson would make the most sense. You could also incorporate talking about other types of shapes as well.
