′An excellent book which is both thought-provoking and extremely practical. The philosophy and history behind D&T is enlightening and very entertaining, whilst the numerous ideas for practical activities make it a ′pick up and use′ book. Unusually, it provides a wide range of activities for children as young as 3 up to 11 years of age, and detailed lesson plans demonstrate how they can be presented in class. The problem-solving approach taken by this book supports views on ′best practice′ as described in the government publication ′Excellence and Enjoyment′. As the focus in education is on developing a more creative curriculum, this book is a must for both experienced teachers and students alike′ – Linda Johnston, Head at Sedgefield Hardwick Primary

′This very readable book gives a wealth of simple interesting examples of technological development that will be appreciated by children throughout the primary school… Very practical general teaching advice is given throughout… a valuable resource for trainees and teachers who lack experience in this subject′ – Journal of Education for Teaching
