It's difficult to describe well the dinosaur matching game I made for the girls (mentioned in my second journal entry), and I didn't take any pictures of it, worse luck. However, I was able to find a similar electric matching game at the Bill Peet Book Project, and there are step-by-step instructions and photos!
By the way, I had a small collection of materials in a special science cupboard available to the kids whenever they wanted to play with it. As the years passed, of course, my collection grew and grew, but I started with a few good magnets, a magnifying glass and microscope viewer, a kaleidoscope—and also the tiny bulb-in-socket and wires that I used for this game. Once I took the game apart, the kids could continue to experiment with making circuits with these and other materials. Once in a while I made a new electric matching game, with new subject matter, and Mindy made one, too.
