Art: Co-Op # 17 & 18 Popsicle Stick Bridges

Today's Art activity was based on the  great road and bridge building capabilities of the Romans. Our students were asked to build a strong bridge out of wooden sticks using glue.  A few pictures of popsicle stick bridges were shown as examples for inspiration.

Our supplies included thick, thin, notched and colored craft sticks. Most of the students opted for a footbridge design that was easier to secure rather than  a 3-D design with stand-up trusses.

Moving these glued bridges was a challenge! A few folks had to do some repair work once they were placed on the storage table. They were set up to dry under the moving air of a house fan

and were ready for travel at the end of our Co-Op afternoon.
