It's super easy to do and there are instructions on the 'How 2' card. Usually when making an armature you need to use something like Milliput to attach all the joints together. It is a strong bonding materiel that is toxic if ingested. We've swapped out this harmful adhesive for kid safe Silk Clay. It's a great materiel to fix the wire together. It is easy to apply and dries to make a secure foam like bond. This kit is great for encouraging children to work independently but adult supervision will be required if you choose to twist the wire with a drill (There is a hand twist option). It also includes a set of pliers to cut the wire so watch those little fingers! Ideal for children aged 12+ but with supervision younger children will have fun using it as well. Not suitable for children aged 3 or below as there are small parts. We've been teaching film and animation for the past 19 years! We run workshops all across the UK so you're in safe hands.
