"Children will enjoy this fascinating book, which uses the principles of Makerspace to introduce them to the properties of different materials, such as wood, paper, and plastic. Simple text describes the observable properties of materials, and gives readers the tools they need to compare and contrast those properties. Readers are then provided with strategies to start their own creative projects using the ideas they have learned. Along the way, tips and helpful hints guide children on how to brainstorm and solve problems working as a team."--
