Flapping Night Heron | Moving Model for Kodomonokagaku

The “Flapping Night Heron” is a craft model featured in the Kodomonokagaku Workshop section of the magazine's June 2023 issue. Without batteries or a motor, moving the model makes a sound and causes its wings to flap.
A transparent mechanism reveals the movement
The model was designed as a craft made by following the magazine article and uses cardboard and PVC sheet. Transparent PVC is used around the moving mechanism so its operation can be seen from outside as the model moves.
