Children need to understand how structures work. This kit helps teachers guide them by allowing children to research and create their own model shelters. Using materials like Artstraws, pipe cleaners, wood sections, card triangles, masking tape, grey board, and white card, children can enhance their technical knowledge and practical skills.

Through hands-on activities, they select and use a wide range of materials according to their characteristics. Children also learn to use tools and equipment for cutting, shaping, joining, and finishing tasks.
