Make Your Own Nervous Alligator

WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD-Small Parts. Not for children under 3 yrs.

Build this kit to make a fun motorized game called Nervous Alligator. The point, besides learning how a simple game is wired, is to put your finger in the plastic alligator's mouth, then try to move his tail-hook over an undulating wire without actually touching it, lest he bite down with a nice, gator-ish growl. (This is called a "continuity game" and tests your steady hand.) You get a 7-3/4" long 3-part gator, small electric motor, a base, wires and sundry hardware. Includes detailed wiring instructions. For ages 8 and up. You add (1) "AA" battery.
