Last night we attended the Invention Invasion at the local elementary school. Our daughter had an invention. The problem that her invention solved was "what to do if your parents won't let you have a pet." She invented the "Auto Cat" (short for the automatic cat). The cat and the three kittens are remote controlled pets. They have special food. They can sit. They can play. They can purr on demand. And your mom doesn't have to clean up after them or take them to the vet! Problem solved.
One child solved the problem of tasting gross food - a tongue cover!
Another child solved the problem of not being able to bend down to give the cat food - a tube that you can drop the food into and it will pour it into the cat bowl!
Another child the van-conveyor belt. Have the parent put the juice box and snack on the belt, and it will rotate around the car to the child in the back seat. No more flinging food to the back seat while driving on the highway!
Another child created the TOY CLEANER UPPER! I need one of those.
I love seeing the problems that the kids solve. They have great inventions. The inventions don't have to work. Just be a prototype. A great activity for kids - creative minds.
