circuits

From a broken hair dryer to...

My hair dryer bit the dust a few days ago, and rather than just throw it away, I figured it would amuse the girls to let them get out some tools and explore it.
Of course when the man of the house steps in, things get a bit more elaborate. The girls (with a bit of help from Dad) converted the parts into a "windmill" first completing the circuit by touching the wire to the battery, and then troubleshooting the attachment of the hair dryer switch.
Maybe my new $9.00 replacement will meet its end soon so they can have another go! :)

my kids love taking stuff apart.
it's even better if they get to put it back together - sort of. lol
