ADVENTURES IN ARCHITECTURE FOR KIDS by Vicky Chan is the second book in the new Design Genius Jr. series. The book features 30 design projects for children.

Each project provides an overview, materials and tools needed, step-by-step instructions with photographs, and notes.


Architecture at Home is a web-based project from the Center for Architecture featuring two dozen, hands-on architecture activities for children.
