How to Build a Moose (Don't ask)

Well, in theory anyway.

Take some stacking chairs on a dolly -- kind of like these for your base. If you don't have stacking chairs raid the nearest church, business, or school. Someone has them. And the dolly. I promise.

Add a brown chair cover over the top chair

Wrap the chair legs in brown fabric, for the moose legs.

Make a moose head out of papier mache. Paint the eyes red to show the lasers are working. Attach to the front of the chair cover.

Add small child riding on chair. Push.

*grin* I'd mention the plan to Greg, but I think he's moosed out. He could recruit Mrs. Hudson for the chair cover and the boys could make the head.

Still, what am I going to do with my insomnia now that I have a plan?

Hee! Well, you can post it as a suggestion to pass on to the teacher, who may end up having to take care of the moose-making!

(I don't really have any suggestions for using your de-moosed free time. But I'm sure something will present itself!)

Yup. The children are depending on us!

That sounds like a lot of work...

Ah, but I need a moose you can ride. At least, one you can ride if you are a small boy with a curvy pirate sword for a play.
