The nowhere box
- Author: Sam Zuppardi | Age: 3-5 years
George’s escape into nowhere makes him realise that his siblings can be annoying but that it’s a bit lonely without them.
In his nowhere box, George dreams up a landscape completely made from cardboard. Could you build these things in real life? Which toys do the children have that are made from cardboard? What are other toys made of? What are the benefits of making toys from old boxes? This could lead to a project where the children design and create their own toys from boxes.
With our book recommendations, we want to spark an interest in children to discover STEM in their everyday lives. Most books go beyond the obvious STEM connections and can be a great starting point for exploring children’s questions and ideas further.
