Hi Sweetie, I made the Dragon one of those, not as impressive as yours. It was an inside out cereal box and I wrote the keys detail on. For the screen though I added a plastic A4 wallet, the type which opens at the side and the top, so Dragon could stick into it (and then the screen held) whatever he draw or felt appropriate – quite a bit of cutting and sticking too and a few screen dumps from my PC onto this screen and change it as he wanted. We kept a folder of all the potential screens he designed and he’d happily tap away and change the screen view for ages.

He also decided to do weather and I’d get regular weather reports, with appropriate weather pictures of course.
