I love to make stuff! It's amazing what you can make with a few supplies and a really good idea—like this easy bookmark monster. Even President Barack Obama thinks making is awesome! National Maker Week, June 12-18, celebrates design and hands-on projects for kids and adults across the country.
In the mood to make something, but don’t know what? Pick up one of these books with easy project ideas to get you in the maker mindset.
Howtoons are cartoons that explain how to make everything from origami robots to soda bottle goggles to protect your eyes for all your future maker projects. Start building now from comic strips on the Howtoons website.
I bet you've made a paper airplane, but have you ever made a flying machine? The Flying Machine Book will show you how to make rockets, gliders and helicopters using paper, rubber bands and a few other household items.
See what you can make with your whole family! Made by Dad has some of the best wacky projects to do with any adult in your family. I love the bookshelf art suggestions—a replica of the Titanic made out of a cereal box may be crashing through my bookshelves very soon!
What will you make this week?
