Marvelous Makeable Monsters: 30+ STEAM-Powered Projects from Oakland Toy Lab

Put on your mad scientist goggles because Marvelous Makeable Monsters is a book full of projects that will let you create your own customizable monster! Take a STEAM safari with your kids! As you look out the window of each chapter, you'll be amazed at all the different creatures. Your kids may be captivated by the Circuit Sillies, who use wires to light up and move. Or maybe they prefer the Goobers, who are spitting and slurping slime. Don't forget to look up: there are Sky Skirters overhead, jumping, bouncing, and flying across the pages.  Author Sam Haynor uses his experience from the Oakland Toy Lab, Goldiblocks, and designing STEAM curriculum for schools around the world to deliver the perfect balance of guided instruction and open-ended customization. Every one of these 30+ monsters has ideas for changing the look that goes beyond simple decoration. Many projects have alternates or variations that let kids explore a species to learn even more (how does changing the length of a wing affect flying distance?). Marvelous Makeable Monsters will spur afternoons, weekends, months, and years of scientific exploration.
