Following a tools and materials list, the projects begin with a suitcase and play camera to prepare for your world journey. The book then continues on with projects of varying sizes based on well-known landmarks and cultural icons including a London bus, tiki totem pole, Chinese dragon, redback spider and my favourite, an Italian pizza oven!
The step-by-step instructions are easy to follow, they included succinct text combined with illustrated diagrams, and photos of the completed models so you know what to aim for. I like that they mention that your project might not look like theirs and encourage you to make and take photos of your own versions.
Cardboard Box Creations is a fun and educational book which will get creative juices flowing time and time again, especially whenever a new cardboard box appears! It comes in an outer box to keep everything together.
Lonely Planet Kids have a fabulous range of interactive and educational books, a few of those which have been reviewed by Kids Book Review include Sticker World Museum, Zoo and Theme Park, Amelia’s Maze Adventure, Marco’s Maze Mission, and Unfolding Journeys: Following the Great Wall and Secrets of the Nile.
