Imagination Box

"Imagination will take you everywhere" - Albert Einstein

I've mentioned our "Imagination Box" before, but not in great detail. This is my son's latest invention, a "Breakfast Cooker Flipper" for helping with pumpkin pancakes. It is comprised of two spools, a rubber band, and the display hook from his crocks. It is a levered spatula!

Although Satch has some wonderfully creative toys, he often pulls out his "Imagination Box" and invents gadgets. Here's what's inside...

• 0ld shoe box with cut garage door in case
• rubber bands in various shapes, sizes, colors
• clothes pins
• empty spools of all sorts
• assorted twist ties and chenille stems
• wire
• wood bits and sticks
• floss
• assorted pieces of string, yarn and ribbon
• tape
• golf tees (to hammer into the box bottom)
• empty match box
• scraps of heavy cardboard
• shipping tags and ring tags
• paper clips
• bells
• plastic hooks from socks (he uses them for pulleys and cranes)
• felt ball a/o pompoms
• net bags from onions etc.
• misc. found objects like springs etc.
