I have to build a toy train (mallard 4-6-2) for a high school Tech studies project and need to find a company that makes a non-toxic, kid-safe, blue paint that I can buy. Any help would be greatly appreciated.


Answer
Try Spotlight. I was in there yesterday and they had a range of kid's paints in all colours of the rainbow. They had Disney characters on the tubes (sorry I can't remember the name of them) and I am sure they would be non-toxic if they have been made for kids. They hang by their caps on a rack.

What are some easy things a kid could build with common house hold items?

My son loves to build things but he dosent like help from anyone and he wants to build something easy that only uses common house hold items it dosent matter what it is if there are any internet sites plz post them for me to look at


Answer
Tell him to search the house first for unused/unwanted items and collect the all and make a list. Then go on the internet with him and enter the 'name of the item' and 'recycle' or 'craft'. Then when he finds something that interests him, print out the instructions (don't forget to turn that paper over and use the other side when you print out the next project, makes for a great lesson on not wasting) and let him go to town.

Also, get him a couple of boxes from the grocer. Have him decorate them. One for charity, one for items to use to make things and one for items he has made that he can give as gifts.

You will find that there are more crafts and toys to make than you have time. For example, you can make ornaments out of used light bulbs, ornaments out of old cd's or those free aol ones you get in the mail.

Having a place to put things he can use for future projects saves you a mess in his room. And saves on the environment. And as a bonus, he can not only make toys, he can make gifts for Christmas and have the joy of making someone happy.
