He must be in 4th grade! LOL
I remember back when I did my project, I used sugar cubes to build the mission, and hot glue to glue them all together. I forget what I used for the roof? But it looked great. I did not paint it.
A friend of mine recently had her son build his from Play-Doh (they made the play-doh themselves though, so they could get the color they wanted). She posted pics on Facebook and I thought it looked fantastic, but my friend was SO over it - she said her whole kitchen had play-doh in every crevice, worse than when her son was a toddler.
Yay for the California Missions project - just as much the mom's project as the kid's, huh? ;)
