sleuth? If you’re dying to be a
­detective, put Sherlock Holmes to
shame with these handy tips. All you
need is a periscope to peek around
corners and a way to write messages
in secret . . .
make a periscope
• Wash and dry out an empty milk
carton and cut the top off. On the
top end of one side of the box, cut a
small square out. On the bottom end
of the opposite side, cut out another
square.
• On the remaining sides, cut two
­diagonal slits at both ends of the
puzzles by clarity media
to be wide enough to slide a small
­mirror through.
• In each slit, slide a double-sided
mirror through to the other slit
on the opposite side. Fix them
with tape.
• Look into the bottom hole and spy
away!

• Write your top-secret message on
a piece of paper with a paintbrush,
­using lemon juice as your ink.
• To make the message visible, ask
a grown-up to cover the message
with another piece of
scrap paper and iron
