Pedal building with young children

I didn't turn my daughter loose with the iron, we held it next to the lead together and I showed her how to touch the solder to the other. I chose the EM drive on vero for its simplicity and low parts count (3 I think).

Oh yeah for sure Jimi, if James was going anywhere near the soldering iron I would be right there with him...not on the couch in my underwear drinking a beer Maybe I will have a crack at it this summer holidays...I might need a Valium before we start.

Last year I did a multi for my brother's 30th birthday and to give it a more personal touch I asked my nephew (7 years at the time) to draw some artwork for the top. He was eager to do it, although he usually isn't much of a painter.
He's begging me to make him one of the "star wars boxes" too, but he doesn't have a clue what to do with it, if I ever was to build him one.

I've been trying to get my kids to show an interest in wiring.

But at 6 and 9 years, enclosure decorating is what they want to do.
