Our Project Dalek ...

For the real thing, take a look at the awesome  Project Dalek web site, and for weird and wonderful daleks take a look at the World's Top Ten   Anyway, here's our quick and easy home made dalek, using lots of black sticky tape: 

Take one Dyson Hoover box or similar, add a cardboard bumper and stick on plastic dishes for dalek bumps. Then secure a black funnel  and a cake mixing whisk!





















Add cardboard, bubble wrap, a plastic bowl and a battery operated light.



















 
Paint a dalek colour - we've gone for black.





















Our finished dalek (only just ready in time for the big day) in the library with Quinn Shipton's wonderful tardis and some fab Dr Who Books.



























Here's a few more ideas from Deviant Art to get creative for Fifty Years of Dr Who: 

Dr Who Paper Dolls 

David Tennant paper dress up doll - choose between Sharp and The Tuxedo of Doom

Make a Mini Dalek

Don't forget "Day of the Doctor" on BBC 1 at 19.50 tonight ...

Dr Who is Fifty!

Tardis by Quinn Shipton
Many of you who are Doctor Who fans may already know that the incredibly popular TV show first aired 50 years ago. Don't miss 'The Day of The Doctor' special anniversary edition on 23 Nov at 19.50

At the library, we are very keen on joining in the celebrations, so drop in from Saturday 23rd November and take a look around. 

There will be a hand-crafted TARDIS in the porch, and work is underway on project Dalek! And of course, plenty of books to take away and read. 

The highly anticipated new series will be off to a special start at Christmas, with the new doctor; Peter Capaldi. Is anyone else looking forward to it as much as we are?
