Holiday Bristlebots

Make your own holiday bristlebots! I created a turkey bot for Thanksgiving and a reindeer bot for Christmas. To make the bristlebot, attach the motor to the toothbrush. Then add a battery. When you connect the wires from the motor to the battery, the toothbrush will vibrate, making a bristlebot! To decorate the turkey, I cut out feathers and a beak from a post it note. For the reindeer, I attached a red nose to the motor. The antlers are brown pipe cleaners. What else can your students make?
