11. Computer Programming with Larry

The Flour Power Computer resources included Larry Laptop foldup pretend computer that is wonderful for the same portability provided by a real laptop. Larry is a missions tool for preteens to disciple younger children.

Larry is a ‘programmable’ computer in that smaller children are helped to spell out ‘programs’ that are hung on the screen. The ‘programs’ are really no more than short Bible verses or phrases of which the preteen help the younger ‘programmer’ to find each letter or number on the keyboard.

Unlike a typewriter keyboard the numbers and letters are in their natural order and therefore can be used to rehearse their dictionary order.

This project does require some adult construction help because cardboard will have to be cut.

DIRECTIONS:

1.Trim around the outer edge of the Laptop template.

2. Either use the cutout as a template to cut the shape in cardboard
and then use a marker to Draw the keyboard etc. or,

3. Glue the entire cutout onto the cardboard.
You may have to cut along the fold lines.
