Objects of creativity!
At one point in my life I had at least twenty old toilet paper tubes under my bed. I was sure they’d come in handy to make a castle, a statue…something. Likewise I had a weakness for scrap wire, a broken mug handle, old greeting cards, and chunks of colorful glass found by the railroad tracks. Everything, it seemed, could be come something better.
Like my mother before me I began to see some of these things as junk and many pregnant possibilities have gone the way of my cardboard tube stash with their masterpieces unborn. After all, clutter breeds faster than mice.
But the possibilities still lurk in everyday things, as my four-year-old son often shows me. Here is his most recent invention, a ‘fire gun’. (Anything that’s cool starts with ‘fire’. Hence a ‘fire car’ is the most awesome car ever.)
I have no idea where he got the light and battery and it is likely I won’t be happy when I find out. But for now he did a great job! And it sure beats toilet paper rolls.
Fire Gun Generation 1
And then we have the second generation weapon that is made out of a small plant sprayer and reminds me of something from Star Wars.
Is it a plant sprayer or is it a...
...Fire Gun!
