The permit- and story-barrel of two strange parrots


What you get when you add up these strange panels with parrots from postcards, a shell from a toaster and a broken lid from old barrel?





 Of course the
 "Lollun ja Lillin lupa-automaatti ja tarinatynnyri",
meaning this strange machine that produces permits tickets - for anything! 
Or alternatively creates storyes out of thin air by those two birds named Lollu and Lilli by our two-year-old.

 Being creative is about playing. When time to tinker is diminished by the need of loved ones in a family setting, there is only one proper solution, integrate!
It is the greates thing to be excited about the same kind a idea with a child and create it together 
-as much as possible.

Here's how the machine works;
 First use those buttons vigorously and talk to the parrots, of course! Then draw some figure on the paper going down from the backside so the permission slip comes out nice and has some carecter.

 Then stamp it with invisible magic ink from the parrots to give it ist power,

and use the looking glass to make sure the stamp came out well,
but only a child can do this part.
Except if you recognize to be a grown-up-child, but then you really need to know what you are doing!


After pressing some more buttons pull the ticket out of the machine and rip it. 
After that place it on the slit and validate it by pulling the lever.

Now it is ready to be used! You can give it to your stuffed animals for a train ticket etc, or just look at it an tell a improvised story with a serious face - as you would be reading it from the slip.
Works every time for those who still remember how to play :)
