Paper Boat Battle

Have you eve made a paper boat?

I have.  I made a whole bunch!

Watch us make a battle scene.  

We crinkled little pieces of paper and made them into little paper balls and then we tossed them at enemy ships.

Listen to a story.

We will have pictures.

Let's begin.

All the ships lined up for battle to fight the British and so we had courage because the stars and stripes were flying above us.

Cannon balls began to fly.

 

Two of the bad guy ships -- the British ships -- sunk.

We fought onward. 

Meanwhile, on the land, this is how it looked.

There was a land battle, too.  (Sorry about the tanks, but we didn't have toys of the battle of the Revolutionary War.  We used a blue blanket for the sea and a tray for land.)

The end.

Did you like our boats, battle and story?  What toys do you make out of paper?

Nina's Lego Adventure

One day, I went to Lego Build with Mrs. Quinn at Berkeley Library.  The challenge was to build a float for a parade.  Instead, I built a whole parade scene.

And, that's how this story came to life:

Once upon a time, there was a beauty queen and she drove through the parade.  People cheered.  People were selling wands and food.  

The beauty queen was tossing out wands.

The people cheered and she smiled and waved.

The end.

I built another one after this one.  It was about a man and a woman adventuring the seas.

The story I just thought up about it is:

Once upon a time there was a lady and a man.  They rowed across the sea into the middle of it.  Then, they saw a little island, but they did not quite go to it yet.  They put a little bit of mail in their mailbox on their boat and then they oared towards shore.  The end

The story I told Mommy at Lego Build was:

Two people are trying to row a boat that's really hard to row.  They are trying to get back to land.  They've been lost at sea for two years.  When they are going back, they see land and row to it.  The end.

My little brother also likes to build and tell stories.  He made one about KNIGHTS!

His story was:

It's about knights.  they are fighting bad guys.  The bad guy stole some of their food and water because he was thirsty and hungry.

We like Legos.  I like creating stories.

Do you like building with Legos?  What do you think I should build about next?
