Get Started Building Your Own Animated Props - Make Halloween Animatronics
You’ve seen those fun, animated characters that move, wave, jump, and scare the heck out of you in haunted houses at Halloween. Those are called animatronics, and sometimes called mechatronics. Many are very sophisticated and difficult to build, but many are very easy. In this article we’ll offer some tips on how you can get started with simple projects.
If your child is “crafty” involve them in the making of their costume as this is a fun activity for Baby. An easy costume to make is a pumpkin costume wearing a large orange sweatshirt and a green baseball cap with some green felt leaves on it. A crafty child will have fun making a costume.
Think of your child’s hobbies and interests as these may lead to a costume. The child who loves The Animal Planet show could be an animal wrangler, with safari outfit and a stuffed animal. A scientific child could have funny looking glasses, hair sticking out with gel to make them look like a “mad scientist.” It is ideal to have a costume that shows your child’s personality, hobbies and interests in some way.
New Christmas pajamas is another tradition that evokes good memories and adorable pictures. If gifts are opened Christmas morning, let the children open one gift Christmas Eve - the new Christmas pajamas. Consider having a slumber party while waiting for Santa! Dress everyone in a new pair of Christmas pajamas and play games, sing Christmas carols, or watch Christmas movies during your Christmas Eve festivities.
Tip 3 - Read about animatronics. Your local library and the internet are great resources. Search for terms like animatronics, mechatronics, and robots.
Tip 4 - Go online or to your local hobby store and purchase basic hobby kits that contain gears, motors, and other animatronics. Not only will you learn a lot, but you will have tremendous fun
