Make

Duration: ~15 minutes

Materials

• Paper sheet
• Tape (masking, duct tape, and/or packing tape)
• Scissors
• 1 Adafruit Circuit Playground Express, battery holder and 2-3 AAA batteries

Folding

Add batteries to the battery holder, switch it on. Start folding the paper sheet around the battery holder using duct tape.

Make it look like a potato as you wrap and tape it over the battery holder. Remember to keep a flat surface at one side in order to mount the Adafruit Circuit Playground Express.

Mounting the Adafruit Circuit Playground Express

Now, connect the battery holder to the Adafruit Circuit Playground Express. Mount the board on the flat surface of the potato.

Your hot potato is ready! Now let’s do some coding so we can have fun with the potato. Ouch, ouch, toss!
