Magnet Crane Game

[How-To Guide] Perfect for at-home play and events! A magnetic crane game that also works as an educational activity

A crane game that uses magnets can become uniquely fun with just a few clever tweaks.

We recommend building a frame out of cardboard and attaching a clear plastic panel so you can see inside.

Install paper cups inside to hold prizes, and run a tension rod through the sides to create the crane’s range of motion.

Attach a magnet to the end of a string, and it turns into a mechanism that can lift prizes with metal embedded in them.

By turning a wooden rod to raise and lower the string, you can aim and drop with great control, making each attempt exciting.

It’s a compelling idea that lets you experience the fun of ingenuity while you play.

These days, we often see robots active in various roles.

In fast-food restaurants, there are robots that carry food and drinks, and some households even keep robot pets.

This time, let’s try making a simple robot.

You’ll need items like a ruler, scissors, a pen, thick paper or cardboard, batteries, a battery holder, a switch, a motor, and wires.

A train running on rails

I made a train that runs on rails using motor power #Shorts

You can make a train that runs on rails using things like plastic bottle caps, milk cartons, dry-cell batteries, and a motor.

If you’re a railway enthusiast, adding clever touches to the body will make it feel more authentic and even more exciting.

You can transmit the motor’s power to the wheels with a rubber band, so it’s good to remember that mechanism.

If you make a line down the center of the rails with thick paper or similar material, the wheels won’t be able to cross over it, so the train will stay on the track.

It’s a lot of fun, so definitely give it a try.
