"...might even be able to manage ones with doors in them. For easier access."
Turning her wand on the blackboard, Isabelle flicked it and the chalk started scribbling a word:
"Now, this is pronounced thus 'In-car-SOL-vo', and the wand movement is a simple jab in the direction of whatever you wish to trap - in your case the stuffed animals." For now.
"Let me demonstrate." Isabelle wandered over to the nearest student and gave them a smile, before nabbing their toy. Rolling her sleeves back, she placed it on the ground in front of her, and took a level stance. In reality the thing would be moving, so a firm base was always a good start. Pointing her wand at the animal, she jabbed it forward while saying the spell.
"Incarcolvo!" A black mesh erupted from the end of her wand and headed in the toy's direction, momentarily covering it completely. But within seconds it had sprung up and gone stiff, leaving the animal with room to move around inside - if it could have moved.
Turning back to the kids, she grinned.
"Now it's your turn. Please practise saying the spell on it's own first, then the wand movement, then put the two together. You may stand as well, if you feel it would help you. And don't forget to ask for help from me, or the older students, if you need it." OOC: I'm heading off for the night, so please just have your charrie practise. No excessive chatter though, Issy is still there even if I'm not. 
Sierra adjusted her position on the
green cushion and then craned her neck to get a good view of the demonstration. There was some mountain troll of a Hufflepuff sitting in front of her, so her viewing was significantly limited at the moment. She wanted to hiss at the Puffer, but then she realized it was her brother and made a small attempt to bite her tongue.
Move, you Mountain Troll Brother!
Once the demonstration was over, Sierra made a grab for her wand and then began practicing the incantation itself first. Did she actually need her wand just to say the incantation? No, but she felt a little ridiculous just sitting there on her cushion calling out a word over and over again. For now, she just used the wand as a distraction while she practiced saying the word.
"Incarcolvo!" she called out.
"In-car-sol-vo!"
