Tribbles and Vibillows

Topic(s): Arts | Crafts

Tags: tribble pillow soft+toy electronics vibrating

Location: Expo Red

Incorporate a simple electronic circuit into a stuffed toy to make it purr and hum. A cell phone vibrator motor and some fake fur combine wonderfully in this hands-on workshop. Make a humming Tribble that activates when squeezed, or a Vibillow with a big friendly button.
