S.C.A.M.P.E.R.

To get the creative, invention juices flowing, the Navigators have done several mind stretching activities. We started with a whisk.

What else can you do with an ordinary kitchen whisk?



The creative ideas start to flow. It can be used as a:

• microphone
• flinger
• spaghetti spinner
• idea light bulb
• top
• spanker
• Harry Potter wand
• instrument
• tornado
• wing
• flame thrower
• drumstick
• sword
• bouncy toy
• head massage (if you cut the ends)
• blush putter onner
• hidden compartment
• dubbing wand
• hair curler
• baseball bat
• bell
• earring remover
• cake batter mixer
• whip
• rat catcher
• arrow
• and more
