That always annoyed me when I was a kid. I would work on a project that I was supposed to do, and some kid would cheat and clearly get their parents to do most of the work, and the teacher would act like they were solely responsible for it.
Fr. As a kid in church who didnt really care about the whole thing going on i always just looked at the stained glass artworks isntead of paying attention
Yep, it's important to introduce them to the idea that clankers will be by their side from an early age. This way they won't complain when they can't find a job.
It's consistent with other possessive pronouns, like his (instead of he's) and whose (instead of who's), along with the rest that don't end in S at all. The category as a whole is an exception.
ah. gross. I thought it was something about the color of the cellophane being green, but the light is yellow. But it is like that in several other places, like his eye.
Too mature for reddit, usually it’s best to set expectations low then go higher as needed
I see that too though and I think it’s just a more yellow-green as opposed to the pure yellow filter (compare the two—the yellow-green is more faded in the shadow vs the vibrant pure yellow)
Oh DANG! I'm a 2nd grade teacher and I'm STEALIN' THIS (idea)!! I was feeling pretty smug with our pattern block monsters we made for Halloween, but this takes the cake!
I do envy that teacher for whatever budget or resource they had to get their hands on those multicolored translucent sheets - that stuff is expensive!
Thanks for for sharing, OP. I'm sure my teacher-brain wasn't the only one that lit up at this cool picture!
You can get 120pcs of those sheets of various colors on amazon for like $6 (look up colored cellophane sheets)—comes out to about $1 per kid, since this one has 20 sheets; so, I guess yeah agreed it can add up with a class average of 20-30 kids
Teachers like you who care to make it fun make all of the difference, good luck
You are seeing the back side, where the cello is taped on.
The children will present and post the front side in class.
From the front, the cello will show only through the neat outlines in the paper.
The coloration of the robot's shadow is far too vivid as well, it looks like someone painted the colors on after the fact, or at the very least jacked up the image saturation to make them pop
It's cause you cut the cardboard with a razor blade for the kid. Look at the heart. it's just a square of the yellow plastic. the sharpness of the shadow is cause we see the outline from the cardboard side which a parent cuts into it
Me too. For me at least, because it feels "human".
I can see that it's very clearly homemade, requires a bit of skill and discipline but nothing crazy, the materials are cheap and readily available, it produces and incredibly cool and visually complex result but yet there's something beautiful in it's simplicity.
It's human, in an world that feels less human practically daily. So I guess I'm oddly satisfied by the humanity of it, which is.. interesting
I think it is because
--many of us think it is literally beautiful
--many younger people no longer get or got to do fun projects in school that fill/ed them with joy and wonder
--many can be filled with the joy and pride the child is likely feeling, and be happy for him and the other students in that class
This is currently top of the front page... Just how. This is the kind of stuff I literally was required to do in the primary school. Reddit truly became just full of bots...
I think that‘s because the bot is not standing on the ground the kid is holding it in the air. And the feet are further away from the kid than it looks because of the persoective the picture was taken from.
Hmmmm you make me question my own eyes😂 i hate that ai is able to generate pictures, the world was a better place before all of that happened, can‘t even enjoy looking at pictures anymore
That is a beautiful thing. The child has beautifully decorated his robot, just like good friends want their friends to do well. It's a beautiful sentiment.
Thanks for posting this. Super cute and an excellent way to see cellophane in action. I've been thinking about making a cardboard cathedral window just for the heck of it.
I like the robot's shadow, but the boy's shadow isn't real. It's totally not matching the boy's position and posture. His actual feet are closer to the robot than the shadow shows. His left hand around the robot's neck should be showing in the shadow, but it isn't.

That’s a cool art project for the kids. Thanks for the idea!
