Hamster Wheel, 9 spoons, 3 volt DC Motor, a plastic bin, a piece of wood (Any size) and depending on the size of the bucket a 1/16 and a 3/8 drill bit and a drill. You will also need safety goggles and gloves and a pair of scissors.

Making the Wheel

You will cut off half of the spoon and make a little slit in it. Repeat with all nine spoons. Be careful with the scissors so you don't cut off too much!

Remove the Base of the Hamster Wheel.

Find someone strong to separate the hamster wheel from the base.

Attach the Spoons

Now you attach the spoons. Put the slit into the side of the hamster wheel and glue into place. Make sure that they are in the same direction.

Time to Make the Holder.

You are going to cut the piece of wood into a 4x4. Then cut a slit in the top 1 inch wide and 1 cm long.
