Design Technology- Moving Toys

Year 2 have been busy designing and making their very own moving toys! This exciting project gave the children the chance to develop their design and technology skills while having lots of fun along the way.
To build their toys, the children used MDF, which they carefully cut using a junior hacksaw. They showed great concentration and care while sawing, making sure to follow their designs accurately. Once their pieces were cut, they used sandpaper to smooth out any rough edges, ensuring their toys were safe to handle.
Next, the children drilled holes into their MDF pieces to fit the axles and wheels. This step required precision and patience, and they did an amazing job working safely and sensibly with the tools. Once everything was assembled, they had a fantastic time testing their moving toys and watching them roll!
It was wonderful to see the children’s creativity and determination throughout the project. They should be incredibly proud of their hard work and the brilliant moving toys they created. Well done, Year 2!
