good dangerous activities for children ages 9 to 99
The book is aimed at children (ages 9-99) — with some help from adults.
In the “Introduction for Grown-Ups”, Tulley explains what he’s up to:
My name is Gever Tulley, and in 2005 I started an experiment called Tinkering School. It’s a place where children are given an opportunity to build big things using real tools and materials. This going endeavor has taught me a lot about what children can accomplish, and how responsible they can be, when given the chance. The projects in this book bring a bit of the Tinkering School experience into your home. This book is an invitation to explore the world with the children in your life….
You might ask why you should let your child glue their fingers together. In the back of the book you will find a section called “Why?” For each topic, we supply at least one reason why you might consider letting them undertake the activity.
Tulley runs a website where people share stories of their experiences doing the fifty dangerous things in the book.
