My four year old son and I love this book. It is absolutely choked full of terrific projects and activities that he and I can do together. There are a number of activities that will be more appropriate for an older child, but we've had a terrific time doing things like making "deep maps", creating three dimensional landscapes, and designing a treasure map that is soaked in tea leaves to make it look ancient. The directions are easy to follow, the materials used are simple and inexpensive, and the ideas sparkle with originality. I highly recommend this book.

This is a fantastic step by step approach to learning through INTELLIGENT craft activities. No more growing been shoots,like we've all done 100 times before. This book is full of thought provoking, challenging, unusual craft ideas about the world.It is aimed at late primary to early high school aged kids, but I enjoyed the activities as much as my kids did. We have used almost all of the activities in this book, from making our own mud bricks to the creating a dream travel box. The lay out is fantastic with lots of photo's. I want more books like this please.

I actually had gotten this book from the library and loved it so much that I bought it here. Lots of great ideas of how to bring geography alive!
