Se7en All Terrain Vehicles in a Matchbox…

We are getting ready for a virtual traveling event of note… We will be needing maps and passports, baggage and a whole heap of paraphernalia… But possibly the most important thing we will be needing is an all-terrain vehicle.

We started with a brainstorm session:

• Would it need huge wheels for clambering over obstacles?
• Would it need wheels or sails?
• Would it need to fly or float?
• What sort of storage will it need?
• What about aerials and satellites?
• What sort of fuel would it use?
• What would it need for traveling at night?

Let’s Meet The Players:

• matchboxes
• cut off pipe-cleaners
• colored toothpicks
• tin foil
• bottle caps
• cardboard off-cuts
• copious amounts of white glue
• tik tak (prestick)

And Play The Game:

This was a totally “free-to-be” project, no steps, no guidance – just fun.

Two hours of sticking and copious gluing and nattering away and se7en vehicles were done!

You would think that I used my time fruitfully and got two hours worth of housework done… but actually I spent my time far more wisely and spent two hours alongside them making my own vehicle!!!
