Make these Magnetic Dancing Dolls with very simple materials. You will require a wooden stick, wool, card, glue, screw, magnets and simple tools. Take a round headed screw and fix it at the end of a 3-cm long broomstick. Split the other end of the broomstick and fix a pair of wire hands. Also fix a card boy’s face on the top. This will make the Boy Doll. Similarly make a Girl Doll with a stick, round headed screw, wire hands and a card face. Now dress these dolls by wrapping colored wool round-and-round the wooden stick. This will make the dolls look very pretty and attractive. Here you can see the two dolls – the BOY DOLL and the GIRL DOLL standing on two magnets. The dolls are ready for a Doll Dance. Place the dolls on a card sheet. Now move the magnet from beneath the card. You will be surprised to see that the round headed magnets stand up the dolls seems to be performing a perfect dance. The dolls move to the left, then to the right and sometimes hold each others hands and dance a duo. This work was supported by IUCAA and Tata Trust.
