In my crafts class, we created 3D geometric forms, then used the bamboo
skewers you can by in packs at the grocery store and glue to fasten them
together in a sculpture or mobile. The kids had to decorate each form to
correspond to a theme so that they would all go together. I required at
least 6 forms from each kid. You could also make it a group project and
create a really big sculpture. Good luck. Linda in NC
