I’d rather do almost anything.” “Would you rather clean toilets at a public restroom?” “Yes, I would. At least that would be human. There would be the toilet, and you’d have your stuff to clean it, and you’d clean it. When have you ever seen someone cleaning a toilet under a ridiculous deadline?” |
circuit blocksA set of simple electronic building blocks, easy to work with for little hands.
First circuit blocks created
Clara has always enjoyed playing with electronic components and breadboards. But putting them together to make an actual circuit is still a bit tough for her at 3, even with lots of coaching - getting the leads into exactly the right hole takes a bit more fine motor coordination than she’s got. So, I was inspired by an article in MAKE magazine* to make her some chunky blocks with screw-eye terminals that she can wire together using alligator clip leads. We’ll see how it goes!  |
