Repairer · the repair workshop
Stan
Stan works at the repair workshop, where useful things are looked at before anything is thrown away. He is resourceful, friendly, and honest about when a job needs a qualified specialist.
“Let’s see what’s still useful.”
What he’s known for
A small collection of spare handles, each waiting for the right job. Eddie offers a grand name for a repaired chair; Stan calls it a chair that works.
His tip for home
Something broken? Ask a grown-up whether it can be mended before it goes in the bin. Grown-ups do the repairs.
How is Stan feeling?
Stan’s face tells you a lot. Can you make the same faces?
