Amplification Toy - an Elongated Neck

We decided to amplify a child's perspective on the world by simulating an elongated neck. Our idea is to create this fun monster head that has large, twistable, movable eye pipes that behave like periscopes, where a child can navigate his way through the world by looking through these new eyes.

We created a prototype using tubing and a construction helmet. TODO: Add pic of it.

Here is a (slightly) horrendous mockup of our idea:
