Materials Needed for Fourth Grade

We are going to be building Rube Goldberg-style devices in fourth grade. We could use any materials you may have to donate, such as:

• Tinker toys and Legos
• tubing or hose
• marbles
• unused spring-style mouse and rat traps
• toys made up of simple machines that could be disassembled
• sets of dominoes with missing pieces
• scraps of clean wood
• toy cars
• doweling
• carpenter's glue
• finishing nails and assorted screws
• unwanted kitchen utensils
• old mechanical kitchen timers
• scraps of wire
• any hand tools that are no longer needed around the house.
• twine
• bungee chords
• old mechanical clocks that can be dismantled

We really want just bits and pieces: clean out the junk drawer, that catch-all in the garage, the glove compartment of the car. Any place where useful odds and ends could accumulate.

We will be starting on these projects in early April.

Thanks!
