Galimoto!

Hillcrest/LEADS had a special Culture Day this month.  Room 408 choose to research countries in Africa.  Part of our research included reading the book Galimoto.

A galimoto is a little toy made out of wire and recycled materials, and it is usually a vehicle of some sort.  Room 408 decided to make our own galimotos out of pipe cleaners.

First, many of us made plans.



Then we created...






We got ideas from online...

...we collaborated...


We made car galimotos...


...sailboat galimotos....

...motorcycle galimotos...


...and even carousel galimotos!



Here is a video of our finished galimotos!
