Keyboard Upcycle

We have had some computer trouble in that past and were given and old computer from my Father-in-law.

This was the old keyboard he gave us.

It was GROSS! 

No matter how much I cleaned it still looked like this. 

Gross.

I saw an old keyboard made into a little "computer" for kids.

So I decided to make one.

Although I had no idea that it would be this difficult! 

After I cleaned the keys.

(took all the keys off the board and put them in bleach for a day)

I wanted to make this computer as "real" as possible.

This keyboard was a little older,

so it is not made like they are now.

I guess... 

I really have no idea. 

I first tried using pliers and ripping off the bottom of the key. 

Didn't work. 

Goodbye "F7" key.

I wanted to make these keys sound and act like real keys on a keyboard.

But after playing with the "F6" key....

I'm not sure that is possible.

Any ideas? 

I am going to be leaving for the next week.

(this time for fun)

So I am going to give my hubby a project to complete.
