Junior Maker: Experiments to Try, Crafts to Create, and Lots to Learn!

Bright images welcome readers to a collection of experiments and craft activities surrounding basic concepts in the areas of space, nature, history, animals, and science. Space-themed projects include making button planets, marshmallow constellations, and potato-printed aliens. Cartoon figures, photos, and images of the completed projects keep the presentation lively, and facts about each of the topics are peppered throughout: “Some parts of the world only have two seasons; one rainy and one dry.” The broad range of project ideas in this maker’s primer ensure that readers of different skill levels can take part. Ages 6–8.[em] (July) [/em]
