Me too, let's go!

It was a rainy weekend day as Leo was down in his basement working on some inventions

Leo had been on the spy team for a very long time and they had learned some really cool things along the way and he had even

invented some of our spy gear. That's what he was working on today. A new creation to solve a very interesting problem.

All right, how in the world am I going to get the whipped cream to launch out of here and I just need a little more tighter here, said Leo.

He had been working on this invention all day long. He wanted to make a whipped cream launcher

that would make the floor really slippery

just in case they needed it.

You see the spy gear, they need to be ready for everything and so the gear you know might seem random

but it can come in handy who knew that glue shooters would be so important in getting some purple ninjas stuck right when we need to get them stuck?

Have you ever invented something before?

Yeah, inventing really just means creating something.

And so maybe you have an idea of like a new toy or an idea of a new piece of spy gear.

And now you just need some supplies to make it happen.

Or at least make something that we can test it out to see if it's a good idea.

Leo had reached a point where it was time to test it.
