Crafty Inventions

by Gerry Bailey

From crossing rivers to hauling heavy loads, this title of the Crafty Inventions series poses the problems that lead to 10 of the very first inventions. Work out how the wheel transformed people’s everyday lives and why the spear became a cutting edge weapon. Then re-create a cave painting, build a hut-on-stilts and craft your own raft, bridge and water dipper.
