reticule...

Third graders are on a covered wagon trip across the country.... What do they need?? A reticule... in case you don't know what that is... (because I definitely did)...

It is a woman's small bag or purse, usually in the form of a pouch with a drawstring and made of net, beading, brocade, etc. used in 18th and 19th centuries. (thanks thefreedictionary.com)

Anyway... each kid designed their own reticule (and yes I left out the fact that it was a woman's purse so the boys would want to create one.)

We used fabric and puff paint to color in the designs. And finally, the kids sewed the sides together...

This was a cute and quick little project...



The kids are going to use their reticule in class to hold their covered wagon note cards.
