    Has anybody looked at this book?
    Amazing Leonardo da Vinci inventions you can build
    they state a child can do most of the building without supervision. I've also seen some kits of the inventions to be built.Any body tried those?

    DD loves that one. She is more of a reader, than a doer - loves to read instructions. She is currently coveting the Ben Franklin one in the same series.

    My Amazon wish list groweth and groweth ever more:)
    Easier to store it there than in my house until we're ready to use it I've decided.

    This reminds me of the scene in astroboy when the new robot boy comes across a book of DaVinci designs and really gets going with building paper air-screws, etc., and flying them all around the room. A very cool scene.

    I just got the invention book home from the library. I can't imagine DS not spending some time with this one. I also happened to get a magic tree house study guide on Da Vinci. I LOVE THE LIBRARY!!!!
