CARDBOARD ENGINEERING FOR KIDS

Turn ordinary household materials into exciting hands-on challenges and discover how real engineering works!

CARDBOARD ENGINEERING FOR KIDS introduces young builders to practical design concepts through engaging projects that encourage curiosity, creativity, problem-solving, and experimentation.

Inside, readers learn how to:

• Choose suitable materials and plan designs
• Measure, mark, fold, join, and strengthen structures
• Understand wheels, axles, hinges, pulleys, and moving mechanisms
• Build bridges, towers, cars, ramps, windmills, grabbers, cranes, and more
• Test designs, identify problems, and improve each version
• Turn everyday recycled materials into original inventions

With 15 hands-on projects, the book moves from foundational skills to increasingly creative mechanical challenges, including a working drawbridge, robotic hand, elevator model, automaton, and amusement park ride.

Perfect for curious young makers, families, classrooms, and anyone who enjoys learning by doing.

Give a child a box, some simple supplies, and an idea-and let the invention begin!
