Our main Toy for the Month of September is the Chugging Choo Choo.  This is a great toy for little hands!  

The Alternative Toy of the Month is the Pencil Box!  This toy is a great project for older children, offering them a great place to store pencils, crayons or other special treasures.  

The Chugging Choo Choo has a kit that includes wheels, axles, a smokestack and half-round balls.   The Pencil Box does not require a kit. As usual, build 13, keep one, and return the others in a box marked for Category 4 for the Choo Choo and Category 3 for the Pencil Box.

Our Toys for the Month of July are a trio of simple to make Whistles.  The first, and most challenging, is the Train Whistle.  Built with four sound chambers, this will require a bit of tuning of the sound to make it realistic. 

Alternative # 1 is a Square Whistle, which only has one sound chamber and should not take long at all to build. Alternative # 2 is the Dowel Whistle, and is just as simple as the square version.  

The only items needed in the kits for these whistles are dowels.  As usual, build 13, keep one, and return the others in a box marked for Category 2 (both projects).
