“Play with me!” Jordan handed me the bucket of plastic animals and we proceeded to discuss whether the Triceratops and Giraffe were going to have a battle or a tea party (I’ll leave you to guess which one “boys wear blue” Jordan went with)
As I pulled more animals from the bucket and set them on the table, I noticed that the horse kept toppling over. When I stopped long enough to problem solve, it was quick work to figure out why.
“This fella needs a robot leg, I suppose.”
And just like that, we had ourselves a project. I grabbed a paper clip, pipe cleaners and some popsicle sticks.
My junior surgeons were apprised of all safety protocols, especially involving the hot glue gun.
In no time, we were celebrating the fortitude and uprightness of our bionic horse friend.
