Bulletin Board inspiration

[Erica Sternin <hip@SPL.LIB.WA.US>]

Hey LM_NETTERS, I was just wondering if you would share some of your
favorite bulletin board projects with the rest of us.

One of my favorite bulletin boards celebrated African Folklore.  I used
the pictures in Gerald McDermontts _Anansi_ as the model and I cut out a
Giant spider from various colors contruction paper.  I then provided my
kids (I have and after school program in my public library every
afternooon) with construction paper and colored dots (those color coded
label stickers) and they cut out triangles to make their own spiders.  We
hung them from yarn "strands" on our bulletin board.  If I had had the
means, I would have liked to do a sponge printing project making a
backround for the bulletin board using some of the beautiful patterns
that McDermott uses in his book.
