Fortbuilders: Backyard Pioneers - 9798985353976

You and your child have just chosen the perfect set of learning activities that facilitate creative, imaginative and critical thinking, while giving you a chance to spend some great times together. Fort Builders, one of many workbooks in the Backyard Pioneers series, was designed to do all of these things. Children love forts. In Children's Special Places*, author David Sobel makes a strong case for giving children opportunities to build and play in forts. This workbook provides many ideas and activities to support this concept. Ten different types of forts are featured in this workbook. Background information, stories, activities, model building and directions for fort construction are found in each section. Because children will need adult help and advice throughout the activities, special Parent Tips are scattered throughout with ideas just for parents.
