Okay one more idea, hook it up to a Makey Makey and have kids "Draw their own controllers" Where they can use pencil and pager to make their own game/drawing controls.

Wonderful (as usual).
I love the idea of using these on a Smartboard where kids can play with them and everyone can see.
Some ideas:
For Pencil Art - Allow the kids to:
- Modify the colors in the pencil
- See and change the script values so they can see how changing the
numbers make different designs
For Red Rim/Orpheum Puzzel (and any Tanagrams in general)
- Allow the kids to rotate and flip the objects
- Allow the kids to create their own tanagrams (this might be better
at a touch screen station where kids can build and share their projects - which get posted to the Museam Lobby with appropriate credit and a picture of the kid who created it).
Really great stuff, Thanks for sharing, Stephen

Good Morning All, The link is to a set of Etoys projects for the Orpheum Children's Science Museum in Champaign,Illinois. http://etoysillinois.org/** library?tags=At%20the%**20Orpheumhttp://etoysillinois.org/library?tags=At%20the%20Orpheum
The director asked that the projects be made for very young visitors to play with independently using the smart board in the museum's lobby. Perhaps you might find a use for these projects too. I would welcome comments and suggestions if you try them with children. Regards, Kathleen
