Maniaquins

I was delighted to find that the school play was all about mannequins (nice choice Amanda and Laura). I was even more delighted when one of the props (an actual mannequin arm) was offered to me to be used in my art classes.

But we found that it not only is a wonderful prop and object to draw. Here are other creative ways to use a mannequin arm:

  • Creep out your students… and then the parents of your students by touching them with it when their backs are turned
  • Slide it up your sleeve and have an extra long and goofy arm
  • Get odd looks when you greet people on the street with your long and goofy arm
  • Put it in your armpit and act like a t-rex
  • Pretend like it is your actual arm and scream in pain when someone pulls it off when they shake your hand
  • Make wonderful puns like, “Hey! Do you need a hand?
  • Flag down taxis then reject them with the appropriate Peruvian arm gestures
  • Accidentaly leave it on the floor under a pile of sheets and frighten your maid, Elida.

Leave the arm sticking out of a partially closed bottom drawer that people see as they walk by.

If you need another, you can visit a second hand store (ba dum ching!)
