Things for boys to make and do
A wonderful book - we have made 6 or so projects already. The fantastic thing is that most things are made from items you already have: kids!, tin foil, paint, cardboard (we use cereal packets), tissue paper, coloured card and away you go. My nine year old works out the instructions from the fun illustrations and words and then directs and helps the younger siblings. The children feel like they have accomplished a usable piece of artwork and it spurs hours of conversation, activity and play.
