The Infinity Gauntlet
My students keep trying to make it.
“Do we have any gems? Do we have any jewels? Do we have any gems or any jewels?”
They try making it out of clay, papier mâché and paper bags wrapped in masking tape. Some even tried casting their hand in plaster, first one side, then the other. But when assembled, the hand won't fit back into the thing.

It seems that function is lagging somewhat, and the function (you know, to control the universe...) is key.
Nothing works.
5th grader “A” is engineering an articulated glove by manipulating paper “art straws.” The Infinity Stones are made by arranging the right color pony beads into the correct shapes. This is the first glove created in our studio that can be worn, taken on and off, and has moving fingers. “A’s” one complaint is that he still can’t snap his fingers with it on.
And, spoiler alert: snapping your fingers when wearing the Infinity Gauntlet, is pretty important.
