The boys had fun this morning at a creative costume making workshop - Frodo made a bat costume, and Samwise built a 'King' Robot - i.e. a robot with a crown on it's head.
This was rather appropriate, as we took them to the cinema this afternoon to see Real Steel .
The concept of boxing robots operated by humans will be immediately familiar to anyone who played with the game Raving Bonkers in the 1970's/80's (it was known as "Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Robots in the USA). This film takes that concept and has you believing that this will be a real spectator sport in the not too distant future.
Samwise was getting far too excited, jumping on the edge of his seat and copying robot boxing moves throughout the fight scenes - hope he doesn't ask for a sparring robot for Christmas :)
