So I've got two young kids I'm trying to get interested in wood working. My oldest is 3 1/2, and the youngest is 1 1/2. My son and I have a ton of fun playing with the dust collector: feeding it wood scraps, cleaning things off the ground. So I've given him a name "Mr Chompy", and tease my son about getting eaten by him, sometimes going so far as to put the flex hose over various arms and legs, to shrieks of delight and joy.
Recently while he and his sister were at the park I added some googly eyes, which resulted in even more delight.

And the intake they usually throw bits of scrap into.
