Lesley Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 I'm afraid I get the two Richards mixed up - I think they are twins I didn't realise that these flour babies looked like real babies - is it a suit thing filled with flour then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 You think that looks like a real baby . I'm sure mine had eyes, a nose and a mouth last time I looked . I think it looks a bit creepy . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 Compared to what I thought it looked like........yes! You must remember that my 'children' are 36 and (shortly to be) 34 - and we didn't have any of this in my day I thought it was a bag of flour!!!! - and I also thought you had to then dress this said bag of flour.....

Egluntyne Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 I thought it was a bag of flour!!!! - and I also thought you had to then dress this said bag of flour..... That is what my son had to do. It wore an old baby grow and that was all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted March 6, 2008 Author Share Posted March 6, 2008 underneath all that somewhere is a normal 1.5kg bag of plain flour. ED then took some old tights and made limbs and a head, which are attatched with sticky tape then the whole thing is put into a baby grow to help hold it together and make it look more realistic, she then used a hooded top to keep the head from flopping about too much. She decided against facial features because she felt that it would make it look less real and more creepy, but I think it looks pretty creepy anyway. There have been various accidents with limbs and heads falling off and one baby exploded when it was thrown accross the classroom, these are the parents of the future Tomorrow they have their babies weighed to see if they have lost weight ie. been punctured or gained weight ie. have been left somewhere damp.

superjules Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 Oooh, that baby with no face is scary. I don't like it!! It's like those foam mannequins they have in some clothing shops. Very Doctor Who! Very funny thread though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ziggy Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 Hey, the way I see it, a baby with no facial features doesn't have a mouth, therefore can't scream Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MedusA Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 This thread has really damaged my health! (Richard's comments particularly so) *ROTFLMAO* I think my DD read the Anne Fine book at school, but fortunately didn't have to make a "faceless monster from Dr. Who" to go with it. To digress, the episode of Dr. Who that scared me the most (apart from Daleks as a child, obviously!) was the one with the statues that came alive when you blinked. That terrified me for days! *shudder* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted March 6, 2008 Author Share Posted March 6, 2008 they were pretty scary and really freaked out my 14 year old but not so much the younger 2 The one that upset my YD was the world war 2 one with the children in gas masks asking 'are you my mummy?'

Jules. Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 I'm very impressed with the photo of the flour baby- does he/she have a name? I also think it's a good idea for schools to do, but round here it would just all end up with flour fights like it does at the end of the school year when the Year 11's leave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard T Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 So, if it's your daughter's flour baby, does that make you the baby's naan? (Sorry. I'm on a roll.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bronze Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 Back to the serious side of it (there is one) If I had been asked to do this I would have probably given it a bath and cried innocence. Its a bit patronising really and really bears no relation to having a baby. Plus most of these kids know how babies are made it doesnt stop them if thats what theyre going to do. For those who have more sense its a waste of energy so whats the point? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted March 7, 2008 Author Share Posted March 7, 2008 There is very little point, I will be interested to speak to Becca tonight and see what was discussed in the last PHSCE lesson on this topic. I am wondering if it is an antiquated thing that the girls school has always done which has been slotted into more modern PHSCE lessons.
