`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
