In the eighteenth century the great Swiss clockmaker Jaquet-Droz built an automaton which could scrawl any sentence on a piece of paper. Completed in 1772 his astonishing mechanism was presented in every court in Europe and fascinated the world's most important people: the kings and emperors of China, India and Japan.

Fast forward to our current century� Tasmanian engineer, artist, musician & inventor Shasa Bolton has dreamed up his own version of the mechanical writing automata and he's called his creation Scriblo.

Pieces slot easily together without glue and you can even mount him on the wall as a piece of art or place him in pride of place on your coffee table. The kit comes with the cams pre-cut to spell the word "yes".

Also available is the Scriblo Cam Kit, use this kit to get Scriblo to draw your own words and designs.

Please note, this kit is marked as challenging. Designed for ages 12+

I purchased astronaut food and a prank golf ball for my 15 year old son, as stocking fillers for Christmas. Amazing. They arrived quick. Well packaged. And I know my son will love them. I hope I get to try some of the astronaut food. I have never seen that before. If not... I will be placing an order after Christmas for more. ...

Purchased two novelty miniature musical instrument desktop toys to take to work to amuse the office. Products are excellent and well packed for safe postage. CoolThings communicated the order and shipping details promptly, and items were sent and received quickly. Happy to recommend CoolThings and now that I know of them will likely purchase again....

My goods were exactly what I expected, I was told exactly where my parcel was and how long it would take to get to me. Everything was just so cool, as the name suggests. Love your stuff, it's so different....
