THE DIFFERENCE
Many craft pages show your child one thing to copy. When it is done, the activity is over.
These missions keep going. The first build is only the beginning.
Your child can play with what they made, test how it works, change one thing and take the idea in a new direction.
1
Make a simple first version.
2
See what happens when they use it.
3
Change one thing or add an idea of their own.
4
Play, explain or make with someone else.
