For this lesson - uniform chairs were made out of
wood(about 12 inches high)Chairs were displayed in an
"about me" box. Good lesson for upper elementary
through middle school. You could come up with some
kind of simple chair for the students to build (glue
together with wood glue) - then embellish.
