My eldest son has a school project to build a marine animal for the classroom. He loves giant squids, and who wouldn't, with their galleon crushing tentacles and pirate eating beaks and slightly unhinged looking globular eyes. So off we set to turn a Nutri Grain box, plastic bags and several newspapers into Squidicus Giganticus. There is something serene about sharing a project with your child. Their wonderment and fascination of the world given solid reality through tape, glue and paint is a real joy.
It's natural creativity at its best. Well he did a marvelous job cheered on by mum and dad and this is the result. Any more real and I would carve it up for calamari.
