Every year the 4th grade class does a market where the students have to make a product (from Mexico) and sell it. Lavea'i wanted to make maracas, but I thought why not make two different things for him to sell. He did a fabulous job with his maracas. He painted the egg shells, glued the spoons on, and taped the spoons together (with a tiny bit of help from Kalena because this is right up her alley). The ribbon wands was my doing. I had 2 of them made already and the ribbon for the rest of them already cut, supplies were on hand to make the other four. So, putting them together was easy. After all of the work that night, Lavea'i walked out the door without them all. Luckily I saw it and hollered at him to come back and get them.
After he came home from the days work of selling at the market, he showed me all of the other things he had purchased from everyone else. My favorite ones that he purchased was a taco pinata, a green, squeaky toy, dog bone decorated into a taco, and a cactus shot glass with a sombrero on top of it. It was fun for Lavea'i to see how much he could make and what he could wheel and deal on, because he came home with about 3 or 4 items that he got for free.
