The Food Sorter

Alba

Age 9Edinburgh, UKFeb 2022

My invention sorts food and water separately. How to make: 1) use a cardboard box. 2) Get 2 long pipes and put the pipes inside. 3) Connect the pipes with the 2 small tubes. 4) Get a food bowl. 5) Get 4 chair legs to make it stand. 6) After that the best part for the pet is the food and water. Put the food and water in the 2 tubes.

How fantastic that you have given us full instructions on how to make your invention Alba! The Food Sorter can be made from household items so everyone can use it. Organising food and water makes pet mealtimes a lot more straightforward and also provides a convenient storage space. You are so right that the best part for the pet is actually being fed! Keep inventing Alba!
