Update #78: Writing Expedition ✍️, Have Fun while Writing! Choose From Varieties Of Topics: Construction of a Telephone Using Cardboard.

I am happy to participate in this week's contest titled: Update #78: Writing Expedition ✍️, Have Fun while Writing! Choose From Varieties Of Topics. How are you fellow steemians? I hope you are as fine as I am. Today I want to present a telephone I have constructed for the kids in this community using cardboard (carton) and I do hope that all the kids and the parents will like it. I appreciate @steemkidss for organising and sustaining this contest.

Materials for construction

• Cardboard(Carton)
• Evostik gum
• Super glue
• Calendar
• Spoiled handset
• Electric cable
• Pencil
• Razor blade
• Sharpener
• Paper cutter
• Black embossed paper

Steps In Construction
Step 1
In this step, I constructed the frame of the telephone. I first cut the side measuring 15cm long. One end is measuring 1.5 inches wide and the other is 1 inch. I then cut another cardboard measuring 20cm wide. I peeled one side of the cardboard and had it gummed around the two sides.

Step 2
I cut a cardboard 15cm wide and 13cm long and have it gummed on the frame of the telephone using an elastic gum. I also cut a black embossed paper of the same size and gummed it to make that layer have a different colour from the remaining body. I cut another cardboard measuring 5cm by 7cm and gummed it on the black embossed paper.

Step 3
I constructed the portion for the switch hook by creating a small hole and used black embossed paper to tile the inside of the hole.

Step 4
I cut the screen of a spoiled Android phone and have it gummed as the screen of the telephone

Step 5
I constructed the base of the telephone using cardboard.

Step 6
I constructed the handset of the telephone. I measured the length of the Handset to be 13cm, drew the side view on paper, cut it and made a duplicate. I also cut the cardboard 1.5 inches wide and gummed it around the side view. I connected the wire cable and also indicated the mouthpiece and earpiece on it.

Step 7
Here, I constructed the dial pad. I cut numbers from 0 to 9 from a calendar. I also cut the green part of the calendar to serve as the answering key while the red to serve as the end key. I also indicated the loudspeaker on the telephone. Finally, I drew a star key, and hash key and also connected the handset to the entire body of the telephone.
