Eventually I just gave up trying to widdle it down and tried to melt the glue stick directly. Fyi jic you ever find yourself in a similar arts and crafts related emergency, they will catch on fire if you over do it.

This is just a mini float for a school project and parade. This is the last week before the Mardi gras break so a lot of schools have a little mini parade to end the school week. But there are also a lot of family friendly parades throughout the city over the season

Including an official mini float parade. 'tit Rex

With the exception of Krewe du vieux (which there are some sex jokes and references but nothing too scandalous) , really most of Mardi gras is pretty tame unless you take your kid to go hang out in a seedy bar or to walk down bourbon. Even then, most likely the worst they would see would probably be partial nudity.
