Make Your Own Dinner Triangle & Clapper
Best for ages 7-11 (with help) & up
Use real blacksmith tools to bend a 3-foot stainless steel rod into a dinner triangle. Feel how the metal gets hot at each bend by your shifting the molecules and creating heat. Make a clapper to ring your triangle. You get to keep the triangle and clapper (makes a great present!).
