Invention Game

They have done this activity many times since then. Some inventions they work together on i.e. a water fountain out of a cereal box and duct tape (amazingly it did work). Some inventions they create a contest for such as using only objects out of the craft bin make a puppy dog. This was interesting because the end results were all different – pipe cleaner dogs, wood block dogs, painted dog and a clay dog.
There are so many things that children could invent using materials around the house. Leave it very open ended to allow for problem solving.
