Unofficial Minecraft Lab for Kids is a collection of creative,
collaborative projects that connect in-game challenges with
hands-on activities that are both fun and educational. An Amazon
Best Kids' Books of 2016 pick! Minecraft offers players an
environment focused on exploration, imagination, and creation, but
its nonlinear game structure can mean spending a lot of time in the
game. With these labs, you can balance your child's screen time
with real-life learning and interaction. You will start the book by
brushing up on some common Minecraft language and examining each of
the four game modes: survival, creative, adventure, and spectator.
Then, you'll use this knowledge to venture off onto the six
different quests that encourage child and adult participation. For
each Lab, complete the hands-on activity in art, craft, or design,
then build a related in-game project. Have fun with these creative
projects and more: Make a Chinese finger trap from construction
paper, followed by a zombie trap in Minecraft. Build a castle from
sugar cubes, then learn to build one in Minecraft. Create shadow
puppets to perform a scene from your favorite story, then animate
the scene using Minecraft. Make a bow and arrow from popsicle
sticks, dental floss, and a cotton swab, then do some archery
practice in Minecraft. Sticker badges at the back of the book
reward your child as they complete each quest. You'll even learn
how to screencast and narrate your own videos to share with family
and friends. Unofficial Minecraft Lab for Kids provides fun,
educational gaming goals that you and your child can reach
together! The popular Lab for Kids series features a growing list
of books that share hands-on activities and projects on a wide host
of topics, including art, astronomy, clay, geology, math, and even
how to create your own circus-all authored by established experts
in their fields. Each lab contains a complete materials list, clear
step-by-step photographs of the process, as well as finished
samples. The labs can be used as singular projects or as part of a
yearlong curriculum of experiential learning. The activities are
open-ended, designed to be explored over and over, often with
different results. Geared toward being taught or guided by adults,
they are enriching for a range of ages and skill levels. Gain
firsthand knowledge on your favorite topic with Lab for Kids.
