How it works

  1. 1

    First, let's explore how we can connect our materials. Show your child the straws or craft sticks and tape. Ask: 'How could we join these pieces together to make them stronger?'

  2. 2

    Now let's start building our bridge between the two books. Encourage your child: 'Let's create a bridge that can span this gap. What should we build first - the supports or the road?'

  3. 3

    Time to test our bridge! Place the toy car or animal gently on the bridge. Ask: 'Does our bridge hold the toy? What could make it even stronger?'

  4. 4

    Let's celebrate our bridge! Ask: 'What was the trickiest part of building? What are you most proud of in our bridge?'
