Amazon's playful boxes

Amazon recently started shipping boxes that include graphics which can be cut out and turned into masks. This project takes it a step further and repurposes the entire box to create an animatronic panda friend.

For this project, most any rectangular shipping box will work, but an A3 box seems to have just the right proportions.

If you don't have an Amazon box that has these graphics, do not fear! Drawing whatever you like with a sharpie pen does the trick just as well. You can create any animal you want!

We have the technology

This project pairs CRICKIT and Circuit Playground Express with two servo motors.

Other supplies you will need

The other supplies can be found around the home. Along with a box you will need:

• Scissors
• Double-sided tape
• String or fishing line (~20 inches long)

The box will be flipped on one end with the top flap folded down and the other three flaps bent outwards.
