Mini Designers: 20 Projects Inspired by the Great Designers

Grades P And Up

Following on from Mini Artists and Mini Architects, the third title in this successful series will introduce creative children to the world of graphic and product design.

From road signs and billboards seen on the way to school or daycare, to lamps that light our homes, children are surrounded by examples of creative design every day. Through twenty projects by designers from across the world, mini designers will learn what good design can accomplish and how to apply those principles in their own creativity. The wide variety of activities and craft techniques means there is something for every interest and mood. Craft projects include making a Chinese paper lantern, creating a toy race car from recycled materials, and designing a map of an imaginary city based on the iconic London Tube map. With fast setup and cleanup times for every project, this book is perfect for use at home or in schools and playgroups, and it will make for wonderful, creative bonding time between imaginative children and their art-loving grown-ups.
