Pooper-scooper

Emily

Age 10Braintree, UKDec 2023

You press a button on the little watch to make it start(so you don't have to touch the pooper-scooper because it's probably covered in poo)and the sensor camera thingummy finds where the poop is and the rolly thing diggers have makes the pooper-scooper move forward to the poo and then the poo gets scooped into a poo bag. I thought this would be good for you so you wouldn't have to stop writing to scoop up pippin's poo.
P.s.i love your books and i have read Kay's anatomy, Kay's marvellous medicine and Kay's brilliant brains.
Pp.ss. I hope James is ok

See this brought to life!

Little Inventors team says

What a fantastic invention! scooping poop is not a pleasant job but very necessary. I would feel much happier playing knowing your invention is keeping things clean. Good job Emily.

This idea has been brought to life

Introducing the winner of the Kay's Incredible Inventions Challenge: Pooper Scooper!

Alongside Puffin Books, Young V&A, and author of Kay's Incredible Inventions Adam Kay, we asked you to to come up with an invention idea that would change the world forever! We loved Emily's idea so much because it saves dog owners having to complete the messy, icky job of picking up their pet's poo (Adam's dog Pippin loves it too!)

In Kay’s Incredible Inventions, the laugh-out-loud book from Adam Kay and illustrator Henry Paker, you’ll learn about everything ever invented, from the daft to the disgusting to the downright dangerous. Emily's invention is now featured in the paperback edition published in May 2024!
