    Default Pull-along toy Kangaroo

    Well it's time to show my Christmas constructions - this one was for a granddaughter who can't walk yet....but she will.

    I found the design on another toy-making website and adapted it with bright colors - gloss paints. Bunnies have small pots of bright paint.

    The wheels could have been made a little larger than 2 inch diam. I used a router bit that I bought from McJing.

    Note the washers I put between thigh and leg and also next to the wheel (to prevent binding against the gloss paint). The base material was 12mm ply but thicker MDF would have been better, I think..

    I attached a white window-blind cord (1m) to the kangaroo's hand and tied it to a 1in ball drilled with a suitable hole.

    The kangaroo stands about 30cm high.

    Looks like a lot of fun for that particular your lady. She is going to love it.
    Reality is no background music.
