We went to the San Luis Obispo Mini Maker Fair earlier this year. It's tiny compared to the Bay Area Maker Fair and was probably just the right size for our Itty Bitty Maker. She got to check out all the exhibits and had time to go to the Children's Museum.
The pictures below are of her favorite booth - building a butterfly box - and some pictures of the cocoon and of the day the butterfly emerged and we let her (or him) free.
The box was a shoebox with a screen on top. The children decorated it with pieces of paper.
Another fun booth for her was a sewing circuits booth. Vivi picked out fabric and we made a patch (two layers of conductive fabric, separated by a non-conductive fabric) with an LED that lights when a safety pin goes through the fabric, completing the circuit.
