Readers are invited to craft 24 projects invented and presented by international designers. The activities range in difficulty from paper animal masks to a simple stool made from wood planks. Some invite unbridled creativity, such as a sculpture made using building blocks and a range of other materials. The projects also emphasize how items that are often thrown away or recycled can be transformed into art and useful objects. Photographs and brief biographies of each designer provide a personal touch while, through the playful, inventive activities, Bärnthaler suggests that the creativity that designers carry with them throughout their careers begins with the boundless experience of childhood play. Ages 8-11. (Apr.)

This unusual and engaging book of activities grants children access to world-class design in their very own homes, and may even inspire a few to become designers themselves!
