Material Guidelines

·  To hold your cell use boxes; plastic bags; clear plastic containers, Styrofoam balls (NO GLASS).

·  Dry foods such as seeds, beans, nuts, pasta (NO SUGARS/FOODS THAT SPOIL).

·  Small items such as beads, pipe cleaners, straw, buttons, batteries, thread, ribbons, shoestrings, yarn, elastic.

·  Materials such as sponges, clay, fabric, cardboard, newspaper.

·  (NO LIQUIDS OR GELS that can make a leaky mess).

·  Use your creativity and imagination. HAVE FUN!
