I think this would be so cool! Toy Lab in Cincinnati, USA, allows kids to choose 7 pieces from their collection of clean recycled toy parts, decide how they want them put together, and then a technician helps them assemble the parts into a working toy.
The end results are very eccentric and fabulous, and generally look like a kooky hybrid of Japanese anime characters and the 'Remades' of 'steam-punk' author China Mieville's novels Perdido Street Station, The Scar and Iron Council. (Wonderful books in my opinion.)
But I don't see coloured cellophane, cardboard toilet rolls or dried macaroni anywhere...
