It is most definitely summer here in California. School is out, and parents and kids are looking for fun stuff to do. The MAKE School’s Out! Best Summer Ever special issue is just the ticket! We’ve put together over 50 of our favorite kid-friendly projects into one awesome guide, including crafts, music, toys, and outdoors projects. Combine that with 3D photos (glasses included!), interviews with young makers, tool reviews, and tips, and you’ve got a great summer resource!
When you go back to school next year, you’ll be able to talk about all the rad projects you made over the summer!
Available at RadioShacks and newsstands all summer long, and online at Maker Shed.
