About This Book
Reach for this book when your toddler is in the midst of their 'demolition phase,' constantly knocking over stacks of blocks or curiosity-driven messes. It is the perfect tool for parents who want to channel that high-energy play into early cognitive development by reframing 'crashing' as a scientific experiment. Through bright photography and engaging text, the book introduces the foundational concepts of engineering such as weight, support, and force. It validates a child's natural urge to explore their physical world while building pride in their small architectural triumphs. By connecting everyday play to big concepts, it helps parents see their child not just as a messy toddler, but as a tiny scientist at work. It is an ideal choice for fostering a growth mindset and a love for STEM from the very beginning.
