Penguins on parade!

It would seem that recently we have gone a little penguin mad in our house!

My husband has been working on another wooden kit and this time it is a pair of penguins.

The instructions were easy to follow (but not to be guessed at!) and it was quite clearly a quick evening project.

The only disadvantage that we have found is that the adult penguin doesn't stand straight because of its design but could be quickly rectified with a hacksaw!

The penguin duo now look on over the living room with the wooden owl from many posts ago!

Mammoth robotics!

I have said before that my husband loves anything that is really old (fossils, dinosaurs etc) so when this little project came up he simply had to make it!

It comes as a kit with easy to follow instructions but with many, many pieces...

For my husband it also had the added bonus of electronics to play with too which he said had clear instructions and took him a lot less time that he had anticipated.

The project took him an evening to complete but it was a wonderful way to while-away some time...

It also acts as a great thing for my daughter who thinks there is nothing better than watching the mammoth move across the coffee table... A definite success!

Hooting about wood ...

Another of my many loves are owls. Another of my husband's loves is building stuff. For Christmas he got a wooden make your own owl. The kit came as a flat pack in which you push out the pieces and then follow the instructions given in the pack. According to my husband the instructions are a little basic but thankfully the picture on the front was a good guide to where all the pieces went. The finished result needs no glue so equals no mess. My husband has got a couple of other wooden projects to do ... We may have a wooden menagerie soon!
