How do you create a small world? Building huts is a creative adventure that brings young and old together. With four hands, simple materials and a few basic techniques, amazing things can be created. This book offers 16 project ideas for building huts together - both indoors and outdoors. They range from simple shelters made from leaves, twigs and branches to cardboard houses and attractive, architecturally sophisticated huts. The visual building instructions are clear and precise, but also leave room for further thought. The small huts offer shelter and security and at the same time teach the basic techniques of designing and creating in a playful way. Ultimately, they also raise the question of how we want to inhabit our planet.
