This activity book provides an engaging way for children to learn about engineering concepts and encourages them to think like an inventor. With the help of Harriet Russell's playful illustrations, kids will enjoy a range of fun activities that foster creativity and problem-solving skills.

The book is organized around six key aspects of engineering: problem-finding, designing, making and testing, improving inventions, building techniques, and finding new uses for existing objects. Each spread features an open-ended question that challenges children to think about inventions in a new way.

Some of the exciting activities in the book include building a bridge from toothpicks and mini marshmallows, inventing a way to lift the book without touching it, designing a painting robot, creating your own remote control, and harnessing electricity from a banana. At the end of the book, there is a tinkering lab with paper-based crafts and engineering activities.

Fun Tested!

Nothing can get by the scrutiny of an opinionated 7 year old. We pressure test our products in our own household and only list items that get the thumbs up of approval.

*No children were harmed in the testing process. All had fun though.
