When my nephew and I had finished setting up his new machine, the girl came to me to have her share of time with the uncle (how considerate she'd been to allow her brother to preoccupy their uncle for such a long time). She wanted to craft something and we went through the waste paper the family collects for recycling. We found a few boxes and cardboards and things pretty quickly turned into building and decorating a carton car. We took thin wooden skewers for wheel axles, cut carton for the four wheels, and decorated the carton box with coloured pieces of felt she found in the cupboard. She put a driver's cabin on top (for the queen and the king) and didn't forget to put a tiny doormat in front of it for all to wipe their shoes before they enter the cabin. Then we did a lot of colour decorations, direction indicators, headlights, and other elaborate structures we couldn't make real sense of. After that I pierced the carton box with the skewers for the two wheel axles and put a wheel on each side while not forgetting to fixate them with little pieces of felt left and right of them (so that they cannot fall off). My niece was very satisfied with the work and without much commentary she took the cardbox car in her hands and vanished from the room. I suspect she carried it into her children's room. I don't know if she already showed the car to mom and dad and her brother, she may or may not, depending on her mood. But at least she got something for herself – like her brother did. What a joy these kids are.http://activitystrea.ms/schema/1.0/favorite2024-03-16T00:25:20+00:002024-03-16T00:25:20+00:00http://activitystrea.ms/schema/1.0/notetag:gnusocial.jp,2024-03-14:noticeId=5601960:objectType=noteNew note by simsa03I forgot to tell the parallel story with my little niece who is now 5 years old and and very much into crafting and painting.

It fits his coding purposes better, he declared (game engine programming).You should have seen his face when the machine booted the first time and we changed into BIOS (no OS installed yet), when he saw how all the fans are working spotless, showing CPU, graphic card, RAM etc. working well. And he needled me with questions I couldn't give a proper answer to (which I conceded, obviously), e.g., if it is reall ynecessary to flash the newest BIOS when the older one is still pretty recent... It was much fun working with him and realizing that I was more unhappy with not installing W10 than he was made me grin brightly: 11 years old, and already so far ahead into the future than I am.
