you will need 6 double a batteries, 2 3 battery holder, , 2 big sheets of cardboard, 1 paper towel tube, 1 smaller sheet of cardboard, 2 small led lights, string, plastic straws, 4 alligator wires, some motor system and glue scissors and tape.

first you fold the small sheet of cardboard so it can move up and down then glue the small folded haff on to one of the big pieces of cardboard then make a small hole at the top of the bridge and glue one side of the string on it
