Hello everybody, I am doing a little post about a “Making with Mom” video that I made for the @FabooNews You Tube channel. The photos above show my making process for the “One I made Earlier” example robot. You will notice in the main video (which you can find below) that I give instructions on how to make the head a rigid, fixed head rather than a spinning one. I was concerned that if it should be used by children as a toy then the upturned sharp pencil end (which is underneath the spinning head) could be dangerous.

If, however, you are an adult or keep it out of reach of kids on a high shelf, the way it works is just literally the right shape of lid (this one is from a deodorant) and it is literally just balancing on top of the pencil. The graphite means that it is almost frictionless and spins undisturbed with very little effort.

Enjoy the “How To…” video below:
