You See a Circus by Mike Downs
Summary: Your little one will be introduced to various members of the circus through the eyes of a child. The illustrations are gorgeous and the author is pictured on the back of the book ~ with his unicycle!
What You’ll Need:
- gray, red, and black foam sheet
- scissors
- glue or glue dots
- pencil
How to Make the ‘u’ for unicycle:
- Cut out a lowercase ‘u’ from a piece of gray foam sheet. To make the letters go along with the uppercase letters we’ve done in the past, this letter was cut from a piece of foam that was about 3” x 4”.
- Cut a large circle out of the black foam to use for the tire of the bike. Ours was 3” in diameter. Cut the inside of the circle out.
- Cut out a 3” circle from a piece gray foam. Cut ‘V’ shapes out of the circle to make it look like spokes for the unicycle’s tire. Glue or tape the spokes to the black tire shape.
- From the red foam, cut a bicycle seat and a small circle to use as the center of the tire.
- Cut two thin black strips of foam to use as a pedal bar and a seat bar for the unicycle.
- Using the excess gray foam, cut out small gray pieces to use as pedals for the pike.
- Add the seat bar and seat to the unicycle tire. Layer with the lowercase ‘u’ and then add the pedal bar and bike pedals.
