Publisher's Note This four-volume series introduces young children to the first concepts of design and technology by looking closely at everyday objects and investigating how they are put together. A simple, friendly text accompanied by bright, colorful photographs show children the different aspects that make something what it is -- its function and shape, the materials used, its color and pattern. This book gets children to think about the construction, design, and function of some of the toys they may play with every day. Stuffed toys, puzzles, and different balls are examined for the types of material that they are made of, how designers make them safe for children, and why certain toys are made for children of a specific age. The book also teaches children how to make a kite as well as create their own board game.
