Birthday Craft Club for an XI year old

Like the other birthday club, this will run for 6 months. 

The first project is building an Eiffel Tower out of cardboard. It took me a day to figure out the design and build it. Then another day to make a new set of parts and write the directions. It took an afternoon for the XI year old to build it.

The finished product:





The third project will be to make a pocket book using maps.

This sets me up until September. The last 3 projects are in the design phase.
