FREE “BOX CLEVER” BOARD GAME FOR SCHOOLS VISITING DURING 2012 (one per 10 children) - a great post-visit tool to reinforce D&T curriculum activities.
TWO NEW KITS ADDED FOR EDUCATION GROUPS VISITING IN 2012
Jitterbug - this kit has been developed along the lines of the clothing bug kit – schools can choose different tops, i.e. robot, ladybird, themes based around Easter, Christmas etc. – very flexible to suit your individual requirements. Trials have taken place and the children were thrilled and excited with their creations!!
High Speed Flyer – made from a corriflute plastic body, with paper tail, the high speed flyer can quickly get some speed up when suspended from the ceiling. Children construct this kit from a basket of component parts and will have the opportunity to test it out before packaging up to take back to school. Again, this kit has been trialled with several schools with excellent reviews and feedback.
