=Gadget Kings.....=

//**Dear Wikiwatchers,** Pretty exciting stuff in the Library, don't you agree? I'm sure Grandpa Wilkin's brain whizzes and spins with ideas - just like his machines! As for Fernand Léger - imagine how he would draw Grandpa Wikin's Fairground, with all the fronts and backs and sides of everything drawn all at the same time! See the shadows behind the machines on the lid? I bet Léger would paint them as bold, bright shapes, all tangled up with the wheels and cogs. Scroll down the page and discover 2 surprise Gadget Kings. 2 Smiles to aim for this time. Have fun, Mrs Stedman.//

=__**Gadget King Number 1:**__ **Grandpa Wilkins**=

Grandpa W. has made simple machines using wheels, levers, belts and gears to give a family of tiny Fimo friends a fun-filled Fairground frolick.

 * Grandpa Wilkins** is Mrs Nyhof's very special Dad. Turn the wheel and The Fairground clanks and slides and spins into life.

=__Gadget King Number 2__: Fernand Léger=

Pistons, 1918 || == Propellors, 1981 || Artist **Fernand Léger** was born in France. He **LOVED** machines. He first noticed how really beautiful machines could be, when he was a soldier in World War 1 and watched the sunlight sparkle into different colours on the shiny canons and guns. He could see lots of interesting shapes in his machines and sometimes painted the back, the front AND the sides of a machine - all at the same time. Tricky stuff!
