Step - 01

To create merry-go-round base, take a sheet of Mount board and draw the diagram referring to the template given with the help of pencil.

Step - 02

Using Fevicol A+, assemble the cut-outs as shown creating base.

Step - 03

Similarly, create a base to hold battery, make sure the diameter of the circle is equal to the s diameter of the battery.

Step - 04

To create top of merry-go-round, take sheet of coloured chart paper draw the diagram referring to the template given with the help of pencil and compass.

Step - 05

Cut them with scissors, now fold it with the help of paper cutter and scale

Step - 06

Using Fevicol A+, cover it with coloured chart paper of your choice and seal the edges and let it dry. To enhance you can also decorate the borders with the help of coloured chart paper. Now take cobbler cord cut two strings equally to create stiffness to cord, apply a layer of fevicol a+ and let it dry. Once dried, take Rangeela Tempera colours of your choice and paint the cords and let it dry. Now insert cords through the structure created as shown at equal distance. To enhance create elements like horse and tiny frames as shown and stick it using Fevicol a+ and let it dry.

Step - 11

Now place the disc magnets onto battery holder, above it place battery as shown and attach copper construction . Once you assemble all the parts,due to the kinetic energy flow the merry go round will twirl.
