The story of Pony Bead Lizards
One kid came back from winter break with a pony bead lizard, and within a month the whole school was weaving them. You threaded beads row by row into a tiny body, four little legs and a tail, then pulled the cord tight. Kids took orders by color on the bus. Some backpacks dragged a whole lizard family behind them.
Fun fact
Kids named their lizards after teachers, and the teachers mostly pretended not to notice the resemblance.
