I've got a thing for wacky hair day. I don't know why I love this small school fun day so much, but I do. Each year I have to outdo the year before. It's kind-of like the model solar systems that my father helped us build in 5th grade. Mine (as the first child) was pretty cool with the styrofoam balls painted and glued to the poster board. My brother had one with the styrofoam balls suspended by a wooden dowel. Another brother had a model built in miniature in a shoebox and you had to look into a small peephole in order to enter the galaxy. Each sibling's model got progressively more complicated and more amazing until I believe the last child (#7) won the Nobel Prize for her submission. That's how wacky hair day is for me. Luckily, my kids seem to be as excited as I am.
My oldest, Danika, has very long hair and therefore is prime real estate for this school activity. Last year, I attempted an updo that required a wooden dowel. It was a disaster and apparently quite painful. So, this year, I reigned myself in and focused on soft pipe cleaners. Thanks to some internet inspo, here's what we did.
Dani's was supposed to be cat ears, but with her long locks, they morphed into Minnie Mouse ears.
Zoey's was a little more involved with multiple loops and braids. She's my experimental hair girl.
For Cam, we focused on color and I created a quick stencil using junk paper for the polka dots.
Now that I've discovered the joys of pipe cleaners, I can't wait until next year's Wacky Hair Day!
If you have any cool ideas, I'm always game. Are you as crazy about this silly day?
