Benji has seen Craig and I work on our laptops at home lots during lockdowns so he loved making his own laptop.
We folded a piece of cardboard in half to create the laptop. Then we cut out small squares of cardboard and stuck them on to make a keyboard. I added the letters we have covered so far during summer camp.
We also added a mouse pad, a key board and a power button.
I covered the top section in parcel tape so that we could write on the screen and then rub it back off. He wanted to write his name so we added the extra letters we needed to the keyboard. As he typed the letters I wrote it on the laptop screen.
He decided to take his laptop into the garden so that he could work outside! I wrote the letter k on the screen and he used his finger to rub it out.
We talked about the things you can use a laptop for. He knows that you can watch things on a laptop too so he drew a picture. He drew a stormy sea with thunder and a boat.
If you have a go at this activity and share any photos on social media I would love to see them. Please tag @miniwritersclub and let me know how you get on.
