Many old toys can be made with other materials such as gourds. In Gourds in Motion, several longtime favorites are translated into do-able gourd projects. Gourds, of course, grow individually so producing many identical toys in an assembly line fashion is not possible. However, it's nice to know when making one or two, gourds are a good alternative!Projects include the trapeze man, a skyhook, flying fish, and automatons. Since the wall structure of a gourd is similar to wood, all those old fashioned wooden toys can find new expression!
It's time to get some videos of these automatons and show what they can do!
