My Magical Spectacles: Art & Show-and-Tell Worksheet for 10-Year-Olds — Make Your Own Glasses Project

Instructions

Imagine you have a pair of magical glasses—your very own special spectacles! What would they look like? What amazing powers would they have? Use this worksheet to design your creation. First, brainstorm your ideas by answering the questions below. Then, draw a detailed picture of your magical spectacles in the box. Get ready to show and tell everyone about your spectacular invention!

Part 1: Designing Your Spectacles

Let's think about how your spectacles look and what they are made of. Be as creative as you can!

1. What materials are your magical spectacles made from? (Examples: spun moonlight, flexible wood from a singing tree, polished river stones, recycled stardust)

2. What shape are the frames? What color are they? (Examples: star-shaped and rainbow, square and invisible, lightning-bolt shaped and electric blue)

3. Describe their style. Are they futuristic, antique, sporty, or something else entirely?

Part 2: The Magical Power

Now for the most important part! What do your magical spectacles do?

1. What special things can you see when you wear them? (Check the box that fits best, or write your own idea!)

• I can see Kindness (like seeing a warm glow around kind people).
• I can see Skills (like seeing the best way to solve a math problem or build something).
• I can see Danger (like seeing a slippery spot on the floor glow red).
• Other:

2. Do you wear them all the time or only for special occasions? Explain why.

Part 3: Show and Tell Details

Every great invention has a story. Let's write yours using the details below.

• WHO... made these spectacles for you, or who did you get them from?
• WHAT... is the most important reason you have them?
• WHEN... did you first get them? Describe that moment.
• WHERE... is the most interesting place you have worn your spectacles?
• WHY... are these spectacles important to you and your world?
