Last week Charlie Nicholson shared photographs of her building work at home.  She designed and constructed a tent outside and fort inside.  Her mom, Katie, told us, “She built a tent out of sticks three times (until it no longer fell over)!”  As architects build they learn more about balance and stability.  What tools will you use to create walls and a roof?   Sticks, rocks, pillows, sheets, Lego, blocks, and cardboard are just some of the many materials you may have at home.  Charlie’s structures were both big enough for her to go inside.  Will you build something big enough for you?  Or perhaps you will create something small, just the right size for a toad outside or for your lovey inside.  If you have already been building shelters, try to build on a different scale or change your design to challenge yourself to learn something new!
