'Fire truck man' and Laker




This is Laker's 'fire truck man'. Laker built him in the sandpit, using plastic reels, a stick, a bowl and our scuba driving mask. He named him 'fire truck man'. Laker's friends came for a look and later Laker used a spade for the 'fire truck man's' head. Laker used lots of imagination and creativity for this, staying in the sandpit to keep fixing the man's hat and head when they kept falling off.
