TRAFFIC LIGHTS........Great 'gadget' in SUPERDRUG

I bought a great little gadget in superdrug at the weekend

It was £13.99 (i think) and it is basically a PARKING Device.....but i have bought it for tom as he still loves T.Lights and anything related.

It comprises of a sensor connected to a device resembling traffic lights....you are meant to position it in the garage so that as you park it warns you when you are about to crash into the wall!

Basically...I have positioned the sensor at the top of the stairs by toms room and then the lights are in his room...the wire connecting the two slips under the door no probs.

Sooooooooooooo....... as someone gets near the top...he gets a 'warning' green light...then as they get nearer an amber ...then finally a red one!

it really is fun....and certainly not what the manufacturer designed it for....buy hey!!! Us SN mums are very resourseful/creative ...aren't we!!!!

Think I will check it out, DS not obsessed with traffic lights but could do with learning green for go and red for stop. Did you go to a jumbo superdrug or just a high st one? Thanks MrsF

Wow - J will love that. will go and get one tomorrow to put in his christmas stocking.

We have probs finding pressies that he will really enjoy - he doesn't like christmas - birthdays etc - just know that the traffic light will go down a hoot.
