Making 'dozers, 'copters, trucks and more by Judy Press. The author taps into every kid's fascination with machinery ad motion, earth and people movers. Kids will get to make wheels that turn, doors that open, and hinged parts that really move. And while the children are building, they also get to learn the history, science, and trivia behind the world's big movers. All the crafts use recycled household materials such as milk cartons and box board tubes.
Instructions are simple to insure successful completion of the projects.
