During all the days we were iced-in we had tons of time to finally get around to playing with the great building activities the girls received for Christmas.
Quincy built another sound-activated circuit....
Ellie built a Sky Rail....
...Tim placed his remote-control Helicopter on the beginning of the track....
...which lifted the track and set the marble(s) in motion down the Sky Rail.....
...and when the marble crashed into the circuit board it made a small 'click' which triggered the sound-activated speaker to start playing "Happy Birthday"! Rube Goldberg :)
The girls also received a Goldiblock's Spinning Machine which is an AWESOME building set---it comes with a creative little story to follow that assists in helping you build the device. An engineering set created entirely for girls!
...and we played a LOT of Blokus.
Of which I have never won.
Ever :(
