Today we made a campfire out of play dough. First we loaded up the squishy circuit app and chose what we wanted to make. We selected the campfire .We looked at the instructions and began to make all the shapes we would need to make the flames and the rocks around the campfire.

We used red and orange LED lights, black, orange, red and white  play dough. Once we made the structure of the campfire we placed the LED lights in the play dough. The instructions said to begin by making a white ring with insulating dough and line the outside of the white ring with small pieces of black dough.These will be rocks around your fire ring. Then we created a thick disc shape, using red dough and placed the disc inside of the white fire ring. Using both the red and orange dough we created the flames for inside the fire ring.Next, we placed the flames onto the red disc shape inside the fire ring. Remember to alternate the colours whilst placing. We added In four LEDs and made sure to have the long terminals into the black dough. The short terminals were then be inserted into the red disc inside the fire ring. We lit up the fire by attaching the battery holder wire, inserting the red wire into one of the black dough pieces.Next, we inserted the black wire into the red disc inside the fire ring. The power  switch on the battery holder to “on” to light up the fire!
