MAKING OF A WAND – FOR HARRY POTTER FANS
My twin boys who are really a big fan of Harry Potter Series have been playing with sticks (which they have painted) as pretend wands. It was a perfect opportunity for me as a mother to introduce the electric circuit and help them make a wand that actually glows..So we decided to make a wand out of the materials that we had available at home… The list of the material is given below..(you can actually select anything that is available at home or you can find as a waste material.
MATERIALS REQUIRED
Wires
Tape (I used surgical tape as it sticks really well..however you can use any tape or glue or Hot Glue as per your convenience)
LED
Dowel or any stick that you can find ( If you can not find a stick you can use the straws and wrap it in the paper)
a paper clip to use as a switch.
CR2032 3V Button Cell..
How to make the wand? It’s actually the easiest part once you have all the required parts.
WAND MAKING – GET THE BASIC STRUCTURE READY
The LED has a positive and negative the longer one is positive and the short one is negative. I have used the stuff that I had from other project that we had done. So we had a LED holder available . If you don’t have it don’t worry. Just wind your wires around the LED legs and secure the LED on top of the dowel. Tape the wires on the body either with the tape or with the glue gun.
