From demolishing a building to constructing a skyscraper, this fun activity book—with more than 250 stickers—shows children how things get built! Excavate. Lay the foundation. Create beautiful bridges and structures. This colorful sticker book takes children right onto a construction site to follow the entire building process from start to finish. They’ll even learn what dangers lurk in the scaffolding, machines, planks, and concrete! As they go along, kids can use the stickers to decorate the scenes in any way they like. Each spread features things to look for, find, and count, as well as fun facts and questions. A treasure hunt activity at the end encourages youngsters to go back and spot things they may not have noticed before.
From armored tanks and gliders to "plastic glass" and drawing machines, this interactive book explores the incredible mind of Leonardo da Vinci through hands-on building projects and activities. Most of Leonardo's inventions were never made in his lifetime and remained sketches in his famous notebooks; kids examine some of these original sketches and learn about the models he made of his inventions. From there they delve into detailed step-by-step instructions, diagrams, and templates for each project, which are interspersed with historical facts, biographical anecdotes, and trivia. Most of the building can be done using simple household supplies: construction paper, tape, markers, glue, cardboard tubes, aluminum foil, and cardboard boxes. Background about the Renaissance as a period of remarkable achievement in art and science appears throughout the book.
