Lesson plan
Shaker Maker
Shaker Maker is a toy for making figures. Water and a powder must be mixed in a shaker and after turning the shaker the mixture flows into moulds inside the shaker. Because of fast polymerisation the consistency of the mixture becomes like pudding in seconds. After some days it hardens. Shaker Maker was invented in the 1970s by the firm Ideal Toy Company. The toy was primarily sold in the US, Canada and some countries in Europe. In the 1990s and the 2000s there were two relaunches of Shaker Maker but these met with less success.
