Tree House Engineering & Design Building Set
The Tree House Engineering & Design Building Set (LER 2844) from Learning Resources introduces early engineering through a tree house theme. Children use platforms, decks, leaves and other tree house parts to construct structures, then test and re-engineer them to meet a goal. The set includes more than 40 tree house pieces, a character figure, five Challenge Cards and stickers for decorating, along with an activity guide containing a printable planning sheet and an outline of the Engineering Design Process. The decoration element adds an art component, making the kit suitable for STEAM lessons. In the classroom, the Challenge Cards give young learners a clear problem to solve, while the planning sheet encourages them to sketch ideas, build, investigate what works and improve their design, reinforcing problem solving, investigation and design skills.
