Kids Corner: Snow Machine by Anthony

Snow Machine

Have you ever had a Christmas or winter without snow? If you have, maybe I could help. If you want to find out how, read on about my Snow Machine.

First, you turn the lever to make the big gear move the rope that's tied on to the little gear. Next, the rocket shoots up into thin air. Then it lands on the inclined plane and makes the bowling ball fly up. Finally, the bowling ball lands on one of those foot levers. That makes the snow machine start up and snow comes out of the spout.

So, if you ever have a winter without snow, maybe you could try my Snow Machine. Then you would be able to play in the snow, go skiing, sledding or tubing.
