Create 67 whimsical contraptions and gadgets that kids will adore. Projects are shown in full-color photographs, and the instructions are illustrated in detailed line drawings that exude personality. Some are quick and simple enough to be done in a coffee shop; others are more of an afternoon project- yielding hours and hours of rich, imaginative playtime. Examples include a bunk bed communicator made from cardboard tubes, a chair that appears to be balanced on eggshells, a soup can decoy to keep your candy stash safe and a customizable "Keep Out" sign to deter meddlesome siblings. Paperback; 336 pages.
