Scribbling Machine

For a person who likes making a mess that turns into a drawing.

Oddity 1 is familiar. 5 is genuinely strange.

A motor, markers, a battery, and cardstock for a machine that draws by wobbling. The body is something from the recycling bin.

Three reasons

  1. An offset weight makes the motor shake, and the markers record the path.
  2. The kit stops at the parts that are annoying to hunt down. A basket or a cup finishes it.
  3. The link is the Exploratorium starter pack, not a classroom set.
