Today, we needed to learn about propagation as a method to create new plants. So, we had a go and created guides for anyone else who would like to try it:

How to Make a Moving Toy
Equipment
- cardboard box
- camshaft ( x1)
- bench hook
- guider
- followers
- background
- foreground
- dowelling ( as many sticks as needed )
- hacksaw
- character
- glue gun
- laminating pouches
- laminator
- Firstly, think of the design you are doing: think about the person who it is for and think of what they like.
- Secondly, construct the box and glue gun the back flaps shut.
- After that measure and cut ( with the hacksaw and bench hook ) the doweling for the camshaft (16 cm ), followers ( any reasonable size ) and the handle ( 5-6 cm ).
- When the doweling has been cut to the right sizes choose your cam (I chose an egg-shaped one).
- Next, to create the background, foreground and character, printing or painting is fine ( if printed make sure the picture is not too blurry and make sure it is free for printing ). If the character is going to spin around, you need to print the it twice (once as a mirror image) so you can see it both ways.
- Before sticking on the background, foreground and character, gluing the parts of your box together is VITAL !! (You must stick the handle, cam and doweling together inside the box).
- Then you need to stick on your background and foreground to the box. Stick the character onto the follower.
- Congratulations !!! Have fun and enjoy playing with the fantastic toy made by you !!!!!!
