Cardboard Box Engineering: Cool, Inventive Projects for Tinkerers, Makers & Future Scientists

This book looked promising, so I purchased a copy. Once I got it, I was so excited that I gave my copy to a teacher friend of mine and bought another for myself! While my kids are grown, I sometimes have my friend's daughter (10 y.o.) over for projects. I showed her the book and asked her to flag the projects she thought looked good. She flagged so many, I had to have her prioritize the top three. The directions are clear with lots of pictures but also provide for options. There is information about the science behind the projects. A great way to reuse existing cardboard and have fun making useful toys/projects.

I'm a firm believer in encouraging children to make things from scratch. This book was bought for my new grandson & his dad. He will enjoy working with his dad when he's older bit. Dad can enjoy reading it now. Its use of cardboard is a great idea & easy to work with. This book will make a great gift for boy or girl, I think. Nancy

Full of great ideas, most are easy enough for child to do be themselves

This is a great book! Initially, my son borrowed it from the library and I decided to order it for him. He has been creating things from boxes and cardboard since he was around 4yrs old. It's a great book for boys and girls as well!

Great idea starter for my grandsons.

I bought this for my nephew, he is 7, he is trying to make everything. He absolutely loves this book. Make sure you stock up on adhesive!

My 8 yo boy has an engineer brain that never stops inventing new ways to build and design. He has loved using this boom - along with one of the construction sets - to construct all kinds of new creations and give a 2nd life to packaging before it hits the recycle bin. I love the fact that it’s a screen free way for him to stay entertained while not adding more permanent plastic monstrosities to the playroom. Win-win.

My 3 year old son is addicted to this book. He literally waits for the paper towels to run out to save the paper tube for a project he wants to do in the book. The instructions are simple to do. Parents should take part like I do with my son. I use the scissors, tap and glue.

Sınıfımda kullanmak için aldım. Çok işime yarayacağını düşünüyorum. 9 yaşındaki öğrencilerimle birçoğunu yapabileceğimizi düşünüyorum. Karton stoklamak gerekiyor

Paired it with the makedo kit and cardboard table saw machine. It’s great for kids to learn ways of safe building with materials that are kid friendly

Livre plein de bonnes idées. Projets assez simples à faire.

Jeder der dieses Buch durchblättert ist absolut begeistert!
