In case you are looking for a fun project to do with the kids after spending day in the amusement park or Disney this is perfect. Why not build a roller coaster? Hey why not? Pick a theme, take a drill and lets get going, shell we.
You will need a MDF board, wooden dowels, and metal wire, paint and play dough for design. Cut the wooden dowels to desired various sizes. Drill in holes in the MDF to support the dowels. Attach short pieces of wire into the dowels and twist around to support the rail.
Use pliers to attach the rail tighter
Continue with the rest of the wire making sure it has a nice even slope
Now this is the right side of the roller coaster
this is the view from above
Now it is time to add the ponds (play dough) and the greenery
Now all you need is some extra tweaking to make sure the cart can actually roll on it. As a part of this assignment my daughter had to work on other projects also.
Here is a list of amusement park projects options she had to choose from:
-making a map of the amusement park
-making promotional poster
-making a promotional tshirt
-making a monopoly game based on the amusement park
-making a video commercial
-making a bingo game including elements from the park
If you can think of other projects or crafts based on amusement park experience leave me a comment.
Authors bio is coming up shortly.
