Playtime Engineering

Grab a play mat, blocks, and your favorite baby engineer. It’s time to build something—and see science at work!

• Oh, my. You’ve gathered lots of materials.*

• What will you build?With blocks at the ready, watch as your baby uses their hands to bear weight and the couch for support while experimenting with setting up a sturdy base, stacking a tower, spanning a space with an arch—and applying force, of course. Bash! Smash! Crash!* Babies and toddlers are naturally curious explorers—now help them discover that science is fun! In this bright, graphic board book, photos of busy little ones offset a lively running dialogue sprinkled with factual asides that define basic engineering terms.
