Folks! I made a Jetpad from Go-Jetters for my twins and it's fab! Want to share the process in case someone else fancies a weekend craft project.
Materials needed: 1. Cardboard boxes (I used 5 medium sized Amazon shipping boxes). 2. A craft knife (please be careful!). 3. Glue gun for neat and secure finish. 4. Felt fabric of different colours as per your choice. 5. String of fairy lights (optional) 6. Spray paint (silver and white).
Procedure: * Draw the shape of the Jetpad on the side of one cardboard box, cut it out and use it as a stencil to cut more. * Once you have enough, start stacking them together with glue in the middle, plenty of it, you want this to be sturdy. * Leave it to dry and move to the other parts (the lower portion of the Jetpad and the window). * Once all parts are dry, spray paint them according to the Go-Jetters Jetpad. * Use felt fabric to mark the controls on the lower section and other designs. * Join the pieces together neatly with additional cardboard supports if needed, using a glue gun. * Finally, I also added fairy lights to give it a 'control panel light' effect.
Feels really empowering to create something fun and unique for our kids, doesn't it? Try it and feel free to share your thoughts!

Beautifully written instructional guide, I must say. The use of cardboard boxes shows a lot of creativity and the fairy lights is a nice touch! Kudos to your craftmanship! Just a small suggestion, dream a bit bigger next time. Maybe use LEDs, they're safer and will give you a better effect than the fairy lights.
