This crate may require grownup assistance.
• Recycle an ordinary cardboard box from home and transform it into an excavator costume — complete with digging arm, side wheels, and wearable straps.
• Build simple lever mechanisms to make your costume movable! The left lever moves the bucket and the right lever moves the arm.
• 34-page booklet includes a rundown of all the parts that make up a real-world excavator (from the boom to the bucket to the cab), plus an exploration of the science behind the clever levers in your excavator.
• Keep the fun going with a scavenger hunt for all sorts of levers in everyday life — like scissors, wheelbarrows, shovels, and even your own arm!
