How do you put in the light bulb in an easybake ultimate oven?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

On the back of the oven you will notice a large screw above where the power cord enters the oven...Don't unscrew this one, (although it may make sense).

Instead, find the five Phillips head screws, (the ones in a cross pattern) that run along the back edges and unscrew those. From there, you can lift off the back panel which will give you access to the 100 watt lightbulb socket.

Remove the old bulb and replace with a 100 watt incandescent bulb. Do not use a 60 watt bulb because it will not be hot enough, or a 120 watt, because it may start a fire.

VERY IMPORTANT UPDATE! Don't try to use a compact flourescent bulb (CFL) with a 100 watt output, because the same technology that allows it to save energy is the same that will prevent the oven from heating up. And if you put an LED bulb into the socket, you might as well be calling it the EASY-BAKE Room Temperatureizer.

How can you make a small replica of Mount Rushmore?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I don't know what age you are, but you can make it out of paper/glue (paper mache.) Take strips of paper and use slightly water-down glue you can get at any craft shop (the white glue that dries clear.) Let harden, and when shaped and finish then use craft paints to give it a more realistic look. Go onto the Internet and look up a picture of Mount Rushmore so you can get as much detail into your project as possible.

How do you make paper mache planets?

Asked by Wiki User

You first get a square of cardboard as big as you like I recommend 30cm by 30cm and then get a kitchen towel tube and stick it in the middle of the cardboard with tape (to get the middle of the square draw straight lines from corner to corner were the middle of the cross is that will be the middle). Then cut strips of newspaper. When you have done that mix half and half of flour and water. Then scrunch up balls of newspaper and tape them around the kitchen towel tube until it takes shape (put 1 over the hole of the tube). When that's done paste your mixture all on your mountain then place one or two layers of newspaper strips every layer you put on leave it to dry over night. When your happy with the amount of layer you have put on and its all dry paint it. Optional for extra detail you can put on fake grass at the bottom. If you want to make it shiny put one layer of pva glue around the mountain and there you go you have got a Model of Mount Olympus.

How do you make a model of an escalator from construction paper?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The simplest thing to do is to make accordian pleats in the paper first. Now cut the "escalator" to the right scale(size) and make two thin kidney bean shapes for the hand rails. Make little tabs on the "up" "stairs" to glue the "escalator" to the kidney bean shape. Glue the stairs to the rails and let them dry. Stand the escalator upright and get a small stick to hold it under one of the stairs. Get play dough blobs to anchor the stick to the model and the stairs.

Can you use black construction paper for a Lite Brite?

User Avatar

Asked by Tehvpn

It probably won't work very well; most printer paper lets too much light through. Dark colored specialty papers might work, particularly if they're on the heavy side (approaching cardstock). Alternatively, you could just use black construction paper.

What color do you get when you mix red and pink?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

You would more than likely get "mud". It is possible to get a rather light rosy gold if you experiment with diffrerent propportions of each color and perhaps a little white. Much depends on the intensity or brightness of the gold and pink.

No. Even though the name has board in it. This is made from paper. Perhaps the makers wanted people to think that it is as strong as a wooden board.

The best glues for dioramas are Super glue, white glue and TiteBond ll. I use both for different purposes, the TiteBond for attaching parts to the base and Super for building trees etc. and the white glue for attaching grass.

Asked by Wiki User

Copy centers have precut puzzles that photos can be copied onto using a heating fusing process. This may also be able to be done at Walgreens. Heavy duty diecut patterns can be made also. A rubber stamp maker may be useful for this. They are expensive, but they last forever.

How many crayon where in the first box of Crayola crayon?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Most people believe there were eight colors but in reality, Binney & Smith (the name of the company that produced the Crayola product at that time) had an entire catalog of crayon boxes with every size from 6 colors to 30 colors. The largest size of named colors was a 28-color box called the Crayola No 51 and the colors were numbered on their wrappers and then the numbers had color names on the box. They did produce a 30-color box but the crayons didn't have wrappers on them and so the colors couldn't be tracked back to what color names they actually were. It was common to not put wrappers on crayons sold to artists.

How do you make people out of playdough?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

To make people is simple and complicated.

1.) Find a picture of the person you are planning to make. If its a random person try to sketch out what you want to look like.

2.) Get all the colors that are going to be in the person.

3.) Roll a ball for the head and a long oval. Flatten the end of the oval so the person will stand. Also, flatten the whole oval a bit so it looks like a ovalish rectangle.

4.) Pinch a small section in the middle of the face for the nose. Then, use your pinkies or finger to make indents on both sides of the nose and a little above look at your own face to see what a nose looks like and where the eyes should be.

5.) Take the oval you rolled out and almost have way, use a knife or tooth pick to cut a slit not not all the way down (The oval should be quit thick so it can stand)

6.) Make to more the same size ovals for the hands. Make the hands do what ever you want them to. Be creative!

7.) Draw on with a tooth pick the clothes and all that. You could also add on peices to the person to look like clothes.

8.) Add on thee hair. Either roll out worm shapes and put them on peice by peice (would look more real) Or flatten a large peice of play doh and stick it on the head then do scratch marks.

9.) Add the details on the details on the eyes and the mouth.

10. Conect all the peices.

TIPS

1. Scrath both peices before connectibg to ensure they stick.

2. Squish play doh ALOT in hands then roll into a ball. This will get ride of most cracks.

3. Ley play doh dry in open DRY places.

4. Poke small little holes in random places to dry faster.

5. Put a tooth pick in the bottom of the person so keep them up.

WARNINGS

1 Play doh might get salty when drying.

2 Dont poke a lot or too deep of holes because your creation might look weird or collapes.

3 If your hands arent clean, dust and other colors will get in to your creation.

Hope this was helpful!
