Making candy dispensers in class!! Week 2

Continuing from the previous week, we got down to gluing and screwing the top cap that would hold the jar in place.  The kids had a choice of using either hot glue or screws.  Most of them chose the glue. We then aligned the hole and the candy puller part?? and  slapped everything together. Threw in some candy and we were ready to munch away one or two candies at a time.  There were a few improvements we could make in the future to improve on the dispenser but everything worked good enough.

Making candy dispensers in class!! Week 1

As me and the kids were looking around for a project to do in class, we stumbled across a simple candy dispenser design.

This is our story :

Week 1 started with gluing all the blocks together to build up the base of the dispenser.  Their “homework” for the next need would be to bring in a glass jar to hold the candies.DSC_0140_1-1080 DSC_0137-1080 DSC_0134_1-1080 DSC_0131_1-1080 DSC_0129-1080 DSC_0125_1-1080 DSC_0124_1-1080 DSC_0577-1080 Making a candy dispenser
