Not just for the boys...Amelia, 'how 'bout this?'

I found this over at Make and instantly thought of Amelia.....Build your own electronic game kit. The kit includes all the necessary components, including a pre-programmed microprocessor, custom circuit board, and battery. The only other materials you will need are a soldering iron, solder, and wire snips. Assembly instructions, parts list, and game instructions are all printed on the back of the circuit board. How cool is that!
You can buy it online here at the Make store.


If a soldering iron is not quite your thing, the creator of Super Naturale, Tsia Carson has produced this fantastic publication, CRAfTIVITY. It details 40 projects for the DIY lifestyle and can be purchased at amazon. I know I'll be whipping up one of those pom pom rugs for the new house.
