The Wizard of Oz
Some of our group at Mencap in Braintree are going to Southend-on-Sea in August to see the stage show of "The Wizard of Oz", so we decided to make a poster...
The prints of the original cover and first page of L. Frank Baum's book (1900) we found on Gutenberg
The characters - printable versions of Dorothy with Toto, Scarecrow, Tin Man, the Lion and The Wizard of Oz himself, were easily found on Google images.
We added the witch's hat, a rainbow (essential!) and Dorothy's red shoes.
The Yellow Brick Road and the Emerald City and the "frame" we made from coloured electrical tape (I was surprised at how many colours are available in electric tape these days - will have to keep it in mind for future projects, as so easy to use)

To finish off, we stuck flower stickers down the edges of the yellow bricks and a few butterflies found their way on as well!
Next week is the end of the term so we will be having our usual party food and games afternoon... plus achievement certificates all round!
