In this video, one of the automata of the workshop made today 1 - Today the children brought other materials such as fabrics, ribbons, wool threads and the teachers led the tempera colors to paint the box automata.
2 -  This fact made ​​them very horny and now they are all active in creating the characters with the fabric, and in painting in the box. At the beginning of the workshop we made a summary of the stories and of the automata already made​​. Three children are absent, as they have been placed in a state of punishment from the school headmaster.
3 - Four children continue to work on the story of the "King and lion fish", creating the fourth automaton in history. Luca helps one of them to realize the mechanism, otherwise this child alien and causes damage to the material. In the group of the "Giant Robot" today there is only one child, who thinks about how to make the second automata of the story,

Another group has also created a new story, "Rapunzel girl dark", wrote the story and is building the first automata. In fact, in the class there are various speeds: there are groups who need several meetings to build an automata, while others are able to build a pair in a single session.
