They could not believe there were a thousand in each little package, but they quickly realized why we needed so many! This project takes quite a few Perlers, especially when the students made a large Pixel image in Google Sheets to work from!\r\n\r\nThis project has been completed now, but many students are still popping in to do another! Some have even made them into keychain or magnet gifts for their friends and families.
