But frustration can often occur when they try to realise their ideas - which is where this fantastic book comes in.

Each project has step-by-step instructions and photographs and lists everything you need to get started.

In addition, all projects can be completed in under an hour.

There are also plenty of useful tips and features on learning through play so that parents can understand what key skills are being developed.
