That is ingenious! My daughter loves playing with dough. I, myself, am an artist; my father is an electrician. Put the two together, and the wonders she can make are limitless!

Wow. I taught circuit building to elementary age kids for 4 years and could have really used this knowledge. It's definitely hard to use circuit boards, but I built giant sized ones with foam core, heavy wire and big light bulbs. This is brilliant.
