My dd (in kindergarten) has to make a project for the 100th day of school. We need to make something using 100 of something ~ see part of teachers letter below...

"I am asking each student and their family to come up with a design or project using 100 of something. Some ideas include a picture using 100 fruit loops, a shirt with 100 buttons sewn on it, a necklace with 100 beads. Be creative and have fun"

Ok - I can't think of anything that seems like fun, and my Dd just wants to copy one of the ideas from the paper. Anyone got any ideas they can share? Please???

Why don't you make some sort of pencil can or storage container by gluing 100 pieces of pasta on it? Cheap and different, you can even paint it afterwards.

You could also use pennies, also not expensive and easy to come by.

you could buy a cheap picture frame, 2$ to the most, and glue macaronis on them , painted or otherwise still plain, different shapes and sizes, or even shells, put inside the picture of your dd's class...

You could put 100 stickers on a shirt or peice of paper.
Last year, my son took in 100 rolls of smarties and shared them with his class afterward.
How about 100 legos into something.
A 100 peice puzzle glued on poster board.

Can it be edible?

I saw an ad, I think it was in Parents magazine. It was for a giant cookie with "100 Days" painted in frosting on it. You could make it with 100 chocolate chips or 100 raisins.

What about a popsicle stick structure? Like a house or maybe a maze glued onto cardboard and then use marbles to go through it

Have a "snow day" and make 100 tiny snow flakes (using scissors and small pieces of paper)

How about 100 multi colored Post-Its on a poster board. You can stick them to look like a rainbow.

I LOVE the ideas ... what do ya'll think of this??
Making a countdown calendar (teacher can use year after year) counting down the 100 days of school. We could make it out of felt and hot glue, decorating it with various school supplies. It would have 100 pockets and I would let my daughter fill them up with something for this year. But next year the teacher could fill them with something and let a student (or herself) take one out each morning. Some of the ideas I have to send along to fill it up are the following...

Letters, #'s or colors - discuss the letter or # or color picked
Candy - whichever kid picks it out that day would get the candy
Dimes - have each kid bring like 10 dimes on the first day to fill the calendar. Then as you pull them out, place in a jar - save up for snack on the 100th day.
School Supplies - pull out and discuss what each is used for etc...

Does that sound like a stupid idea?? Would you use it if you were a teacher?

It's only due to your help that I could look out side the box and come up with it.
