Ok, maybe my box is not Montessori at all: it is not made of wood, and it doesn’t go in the simplicity/one self-guided task principle that Montessori toys apply… Nonetheless, it offers lots of opportunities for training fine motor skills, cause and effect association, manipulation…
And it might keep being interesting for an older kid, providing a way to see how color combination works (there is an RGB LED with individual switches to control the Red, Green and Blue individual parts) and a miliamperimeter that shows the box’s electricity consumption in real time - and it looks like the console of a Space Ship!

@@GeekDetour Parents are always hard on themselves. Just like our children, we have good days, great days, and not so good days. Some days we have lots of patience and others can be little to none.

@makedaevilmage 28 дней назад

I kinda want to make a box like this but wasn't looking forward to all the drilling ... then I remenbered I have a 3D printer a little 3D modeling skills. I might just be able to model something up and simply 3D print a box. Solder up some wires from switches to LED's etc and voila! Can't wait to get started on my project ;)

@GeekDetour 28 дней назад

Oh, absolutely! I made this video a few months before I bought my first 3D Printer - after that every now and then I think to myself how faster it would have been just 3D Printing it instead of drawing by hand, drilling, cutting, filing… An even more “warmer” result would have been using a laser cutter and make it in plywood. Good luck! Have fun!

Loved your project. Glad to see it got some good use. I started making one of these sort of busy boards for my son, but the part I did not realize was how fast he would out grow it. In fact he out grew it before it was complete. You have to move fast as kids grow fast.

Thank you! Oh man... you are SO RIGHT about how fast they grow! I feel really lucky that I could use a whole week to do it all non-stop (and another week to edit/publish the video) - otherwise it is very likely I would have faced the same fate of yours!

Awesome! Very impressive. Many decades ago, I built a box much less impressive for my nephew. I didn't know it until a long time later, but he, then his brother and sister that came along later, got a lot of play out of it. My sister gave it back to me when the youngest was a teen. You might want to put something on there to secure the analog meter cover. Little fingers may pry it off.

@AlienRelics 5 лет назад

@@GeekDetour Oh, it had wear and tear. It was mostly parts from Radio Shack in a plastic box. One of the toggle switches just flopped back and forth, and one of the pushbuttons had the top fall off. I'd also put two bare wires next to each other with a 555 timer so it would click and growl when touched. No meters, though. That was an expensive part, back then. Lots of LEDs, beepers, and even a doorbell sound. Yours is much more impressive.

I think I’ve seen one of these things on HBOs Chernobyl lol but honestly I would pay to buy this! It’s brilliant! And also very educational. My nephew loves playing with all sorts of switches! He even plays with the vacuum buttons lol nice work!

@GeekDetour 4 года назад

I love these big retro buttons - and VU Meters, yes, moving needles rock 🤘

Geek Detour if you haven’t seen this it’s the ultimate version of your toy. Any aged geek would love this lol ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-j6zseFi070E.html

@@GeekDetour I've watched almost all of your videos in the past few hours, and you're really an amazing storyteller! So good with words! Significant content even in videos that are less than 10mins 👍🏻 keep up the good work. You deserve more subscribers :)

@GeekDetour 5 лет назад

Thank you Riza, it means a lot to me, I appreciate! Well, there might be an explanation for the good text: I am terrible at improvisation... so all my videos begin with a text: I write them, then a few days later I revise them again. Then I record my voice-over, reading the text, and finally I edit the video to match what I read :)

@rizadatuon 5 лет назад

@@GeekDetour I figured that as much! But still, excellent storytelling and organization of ideas! The effort you put in your videos is awesome 👍🏻

@USAMark70 3 года назад

I think that's awesome! My babies are grown now but I think they would have definitely played with this. Especially my younger one. She was the more curious of the two. Nice job!

@GeekDetour 3 года назад

Wow, thank you! Which ages are your kids? My daughter is 3 now, and every now and then she loves to play with the box - last week she got an epiphany about the current indicator: "Daddy! It moves up and down!" and when she turned everything off she looked at me: "Daddy! Zero!" I got so proud of her :)

@GeekDetour 3 года назад

I suppose kids might enjoy these light-switching-panels for many years, so, you are not late! It can get more fancy with Arduino: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-5s1YJAz8STc.html and totally insane like this "mission control": ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-j6zseFi070E.html

@GeekDetour 5 лет назад

Yeah 😳. The box I made uses 3 Volts (DC) from two “C” (R14) batteries and they last very long: like, more than a month (and my daughter plays with it A LOT every day!)

Hola Miguel - me encanta saber que te gusta que yo ponga los subtítulos :) En RU-vid Analytics yo veo que solamente 2.3% de mis visitantes lo miran leyendo subtítulos en Español... (los subtítulos en portugués - mi lengua materna - es aún menos: 1%) Pero los hago por capricho. Un mensaje como el tuyo siempre me anima a seguir poniéndoselos.

@GeekDetour 5 лет назад

Olá Fabio! Muito obrigado 😊 - difícil realmente não é... mas dá bastante trabalho! 3 dias inteiros 😱 De todas as formas, editar o vídeo depois levou ainda mais tempo 🤯🤣 Até aí, sem muitas novidades - difícil eu fazer um vídeo que não leve pelo menos 1 semana de edição, há há há.

@FabioSilvestre1 5 лет назад

realmente ficou muito boa, eu não teria essa paciência toda, e se furasse a caixa em lugar errado, o que é bem possível, já ia desanimar, e o pior, teria que comprar uma dessas prontas pra satisfazer meu filho, e as prontas não tem todo esse glamour nem todos esses botões!

Thank you! But it is not hard to make something like this. You can start with a simpler (yet basically the same thing) project. Here is a video of a smaller box: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-tSgGExrK-lo.html and he provided very detailed instructions here: www.instructables.com/id/Childs-Toy-Light-Switch-Box/

@mpolinski 3 года назад

this is great, when she's older, you can build a cardboard rocket ship and put this in it, with perhaps a few sound generators/buttons!

@GeekDetour 3 года назад

Thanks! When I made this box, I had very little experience with Arduinos - today I think I would have used one for sounds and maybe even some game. There are some really cool nuts Light Boxes for kids made with Arduino - very talented people!
