Bill Peet Book Project Ideas - Magic Picture

Magic Picture Project (Wump World):

Materials:    Piece of paper - 4" by 4"
                   Thread - 1 foot
                   Scotch tape
                   Colored pencils or markers    

Steps:   1.  On one side of paper draw a picture of city skyscrapers with no pollution
            2.  On the opposite side draw a picture of just smoke and pollution (without
            skyscrapers)
            3.  Place your picture on a flat surface, pollution side up.  Stretch the thread
            over the picture.  Center the thread on the picture.
            4.  Tape the thread against the top and bottom of the picture.
            5.  Take an end of the thread in each hand.  Straighten it out so you can see the 
            picture of the city skyscrapers.  Now blow on the side of the picture to make
            it spin quickly.  It will appear that the pollution is now in the city.
