On Friday we made our own Harry Potter wands. We finished reading the first book before winter break, and are currently in the middle of the second book. Our class has really been getting into these books, and I often see kids pretending they are characters from the book. For weeks students have been rolling up paper to make their own wands, so I thought it was finally time we crafted something they would use when they play. We used chopsticks and hot glue to made the wands, and then the students painted them using brown, gold and silver paints. Once they were dry and ready the students were so excited to start casting spells and have their own wizard duels.
