We then discussed the meaning of the words "design" and "architect." We had a couple students who had family members who were engineers or architects and were able to explain those words to the class. We talked about how much thought and planning goes into building a real house!
Here is one student explaining step one!
Here is a picture of our blueprints...
Next step, buy the goodies and build!
Finished products... All their planning and design paid off, but I hope the kiddos waited to eat them until you said they could!
We had so much fun!!!
