Para Heads

For Paraprofessional Day this year I was...inspired!  The specialists who meet weekly to discuss special education students wanted to recognize all the hard-working and pretty amazing paraprofessionals who work in our school.  Our school literally could not run as well as it does without them.  The team decided on getting a giant cake.  The principal gave me two laminated sheets of.....all the paraprofessional heads.  What to do?  In my best yoga self I wandered around Joanne's Craft Store thinking, "What to do?  What to do?  It will just come to me.  What do to?  What to do?"  I picked up and put down cute little dolls that I could mount heads to...way too expensive and way too big.  I looked at little wooden critters I could hot glue the heads onto...no, that just didn't seem to fit.  And then I found a plastic box full of doll forms, complete with coordinating shoes, tops and shorts.  Yep, that was it.  So off I went to my house to superglue laminated para heads onto doll forms.  My husband loves to do projects like these as much as me so pitched in.  "How about making a mini skirt?"  he offered, cutting the shorts so that they became mini, mini skirts.  Too funny.  With a magnet on the back so that we now created "take-aways" we were done.  What fun!
