Book Review And Giveaway – Marvelous Makeable Monsters

by

Marvelous Makeable Monsters -by Sam Haynor

What can a makeable monster do? They motor, inflate, wobble, drool, soar, and one can even do push-ups. The best thing about these monsters is that they’re part experiment, part imagination, and 100% customizable. Author Sam Haynor draws on his experience with the San Francisco Exploratorium, Oakland Toy Lab, GoldieBlox, and designing STEAM curriculum to create projects packed with fun features. With 21 different projects you could setup a lesson plan to suit your classroom, homeschool or home environment. You don’t need to be an educator to be able to achieve or educate your child with these projects and tutorials.  I love when crafts become science and play becomes education!
