Wrapping Himself Up!

I've got a great little boy in my class who is fantastic at junk modelling - he makes all kinds of things and is really creative with the resources. He especially loves using the junk modelling materials to make costumes and equipment for himself which he attaches to his body, with any other available person's help!, by winding masking tape around his tummy. For example, he became a diver and made some underwater diving equipment by taping a huge egg box wrapped in bubble wrap to himself - round and round his middle again - the dinner ladies had to loosen it as he couldn't fit his dinner in! Today he was a policeman with plastic bottles and boxes attached to his tummy, back, arms and legs as padding to protect him if he fell off his police bike - oh and a round lid as his police badge taped to his chest. I wish I had pictures to show you - he looks amazing and all the teachers in the school look out for him - the year 6 teacher is a bit bemused by him! Anyway, apart from just sharing a lovely child with you, I wondered if you had any ideas of ways to extend his learning. Is this schematic behaviour, do you think, or is he just a great engineer / cfreative thinker? I thought about getting him a book about mummies, as they are wrapped up, but I wasn't sure if this is going down the wrong path. I've never taught such a natural junk modeller amd wonder what his next steps should be - what should I plan / provide for him now?
