Welcome to Ellior’s world – MacBook

I decided to share my 6-year-old daughter’s creations with the world before she gets too old to be fascinated by her pretend world. Every day – and I mean EVERY day – we come home and Ellior has created something new from paper, milk cartons, egg crates and whatever else is laying around. She always has a good reason for making stuff. We all learn a little about the world when she makes her stuff.

Unfortunately, I only thought about blogging her stuff this week so we missed like ten thousand things already. Every day is something different. But as long as her prolific stuff making continues, I’ll try to keep up.

I’ll start with something that she made a few weeks ago. Since a lot of the stuff Ellior makes is made of paper and cardboard, it tends to get destroyed. Perhaps if she were an only child we’d be more motivated to keep everything. Sigh. (You should have seen her refrigerator with shelves and stocked with food. She says she wants to make another one. I hope her white appliance muse strikes again.)

Anyway, the first thing to show here is a MacBook. It might be a MacBook Pro, since it’s so big. But it’s definitely a Mac, there’s a picture of fruit on the cover. Here it is.

This is Ellior’s MacBook

She was inspired by a prototype project for a roll-up laptop by Orkin (no, not the exterminator people), a German design firm. Yep, six years old and already reverse engineering.
