MAKE YOUR OWN GALLAVANTS
You'll need:
- Modeling clay, the kind that bakes or hardens
- Toothpicks or wooden match sticks
- Paint and glue
Instructions:
1. Make three different size balls
2. Turn the head into kind of an egg shape.
3. Use the toothpicks to make holes for connecting all parts after baking them.
4. Tilt the head forward a bit.
5. You can either use match-sticks for arms and legs or make them out of clay. Remember to make holes for connections!
6. Ask a grown-up to help you with the baking!
7. When everything has cooled off, use the glue to put it all together.
8. Paint it and Presto! You have your very own Gallavant.

make a bark boat
The fall is a perfect time for making a Bark Boat.
The leaves are so colorful and since they now have dropped to the ground, they're easy to get to.
Find a flat piece of bark. Bark from pine trees are especially good. Any flat piece of wood you can find will work, too.
The size could be as long as your hand, about 4 - 7 inches.
Attach a stick to the bark with some glue or play-dough and carefully poke through a leaf or two for sails.
Did you make your own gallavant, yet? If not, you can find some easy instructions above!
Try it out if you have a pond or a puddle nearby. Your bathtub is a good place, too. Happy sailing!
