Making a model from things around the house

One of the best ways to spend your summer holidays is playing with toys. And wouldn’t it be even more cool if you could make your own toy town? Imagine a model made from things lying around the house. You could decide to make a model train station and include everything from railway lines to station stops. Or you could make a model of the supermarket complete with shelves and miniature goods on them.

What makes models even more interesting is if some parts of it work or move. For instance in the model of the railway example given above it would be more fun if the trains in the model actually moved on the railway track on their own. You can make a model out of anything you like. And the best part is that you do not need to go and buy things from outside to make a model.

You can ask your parents to give you a bagful of stuff that is lying around the house and which they no longer need. All you need to do is to use this as the basic raw material for making your model. Add some bright colors with either fabrics or paints and you will have an interesting science project on your hands.
