100 Construction Activities for Kids

These 100 activities are built around, well, building three-dimensional structures (for 2-D, see the art activity cards). The projects are generally open-ended, meaning that a general theme may be suggested for the activity, but that children can use materials as they wish to create their projects. These cards are divided into the following categories: paper, newspaper, cardboard, boxes & blocks, large box construction, wood, plastic, glass, metal, string/material, nature-based, grocery store materials, dough/clay/plaster, and toys & games. 136 pages. Catalog number: CNBK0913; Price: $9.95

Also available from Amazon.com.
