Help with School Project please!!

[twinscandc]

My dd (4th grade) has to do a school project that is due next Wednesday. She has to make a "parade float" out of a shoe box that represents the person who she recently read a biography on. The rules for the "float" is that it has to be all natural materials, nothing that is already made such as army men, etc.

So, guess who's biography she read? - You got it: Walt Disney!!

I'm trying to get some creative ideas on which to make her "float". It has to represent Walt Disney's life and the important events in his life. Here are some of my DD's ideas, but she is not sure how to go about creating them: she wants it to be like a float from a WDW parade in which Mickey Mouse is in the snow globe bubble. But, I'm just not sure how we can pull that off.

Any ideas? Come on creative people - now's your chance! Help Caitlyn create the best darn float that her school has ever seen!!

Here's an idea - don't know if any of this would qualify as natural - but I'll try:

Use small white paper plate painted blue as back of globe with soap shavings glued on for snow. Attach plate to float on it's side with glue gun. The soap shavings could also be on bottom as snow. (Could also use powdered dish soap - I guess.) Make Mickey out of modeling clay or plaster paris and paint, add any other character or prop. Use saran wrap attached to the plate as the front of the globe. She could also use that glitter glue around edge of float to make it look like Christmas lights.

Hope some of these ideas will help. Have fun with the project!!!
