Make A Snake Kit

Mechanical wooden craft kit

This simple kit makes a mechanical snake. The snake is very easy to assemble - only requires the use of a screwdriver. After you have assembled the snake, simply turn the handle and watch the snake move!

The handle turns the "cam shaft" and the eccentric shaped cams push the rods up. This shows how a circular turning motion can be converted into an "up and down" movement. The cams can be repositioned on the shaft to change the movement of the snake.

This kit makes a wonderful conversation piece when completed, no one can resist turning the handle to see what happens to the snake! A great project to do with children as it is both fun and educational!

Includes everything you need to complete project (except the screwdriver)!
