Fill that car full of stuff and we’ll make everything build strange monsters and robots from the garbage heap. We will build arms, legs, heads, etc. from the most unusual items. The sky is the limit, well don’t build them quite that big…you’ll have to get them home. Size does matter.Supply List:
• Variety of found objects. Could literally be anything. When you’re finding things, think about items that might work as head, arms, etc.
