Great family fun activities!
Derived From Web , Apr 23, 2021
I knew I would love this book. My husband is part of a line of great thinkers. He sneaked the book open while I was putting our son to bed. I decided to get this early because our son loves watching his dad do everything. Simple facts for each project are what I love about the introduction. I can't wait for our son to start exploring this book because I can't wait for communication and imagination between us as parents. I've found a few projects I forgot about in school. I wonder how I never thought of some of them. Some of the projects can be done with a younger child for one-on-one time with a parent or guardian, but the reading is appropriate for the age group specified. We are very happy with this book and thankful to the author for putting it together.

I bought this book for my granddaughter because she loved it and has taken it on herself to learn through it during a time when they have not been in school. She enjoys learning and can get it.

OMG, why didn't I find this book earlier????
Derived From Web , May 29, 2020
The book is a JEM for passionate engineer dadmom looking for 10 to 20 min project ideas to inspire engineering to their child. I'm talking about projects that are exciting to kids. This was the hardest part of working on a project that my kid loves to build and play with, until the toy inevitably breaks down. I made it a father+son time every Saturday to choose a project from a book and build it out using housekitchen available resources after I found this book. Hot glue gun is the most important thing you'll have. Have a good time!

Game changer in quarantine!!
Derived From Web , Apr 18, 2020
My kindergartener has been struggling in school. I ordered this book because I wanted to learn more about learning-thu-play. We were having fun after 10 minutes of its arrival. We have an engineering box set up and at least 5 completed builds, it has been less than a week. Its changed the game! Most of the materials were already in the house, and they were easy to purchase at the pharmacydollar store. Can't recommend this any more.

Bad printing press makes the pages nearly unreadable.

Half the pages are hard to read, so the printer ink didn't line up. I should've returned it.

Waste
Derived From Web , Mar 31, 2020
For my grandson's birthday, I bought this. The rest of the book is a blur. We can't finish one activity because we can't read the instructions. The printing of this book was disappointing.

Creative projects

I bought this for my 7 year old for Christmas, and some of the things he would need for the projects. He was working on different projects during his break. There are catapults, towers, and foosball tables. Kids have fun using their brains when they turn off their electronics. Awesome book!

Not all supplies are actually around the house.
Derived From Web , Dec 18, 2019
There is a book with legit engineering activities. I had to buy a lot of stuff to make these happen. Lots of the supplies are in the house, but not all of them. I needed one of the special miniature bulbs. Quite a few items were like this for just $5.

Lots of fun and variety.
Derived From Web , Jul 2, 2019
There is a lot of photos in this book. The best age for these projects would be K 3. Most of these will have been done by older kids. Excellent purchase.
