Earth, Water, Fire and Air - Playful Explorations in the Four Elements
By Walter Kraul

Children are drawn instinctively to play with the elements of water, air, fire, and earth. This book shows how to encourage and develop this tendency in children.

Written primarily for parents and teachers, it describes the construction of many toys and projects with easy-to-follow instructions, diagrams, and photographs. The projects in this book also encourage older and younger children to play together and create in a healthy and constructive way.

Earth, Water, Fire, and Air shows how to make a paddle-wheel boats, a propeller plane, parachutes, windmills, spinning tops, a little hot-air carousel, a hot-air balloon, and much more. While some suggestions are simple enough for six-year-olds, others are challenging enough for a skillful twelve-year-old.
