Sci Fri: Charlie's Cardboard Elevator
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory ends in the Glass Elevator (which begins the next book).

The trickiest bit was getting the lace to stay put to wind for elevation.
Everyone took their turn trying knots and bows.
Once we got the elevator up and running, our mock 'Charlie' happily rode up and down all day!
