It’s possible that I say this every week, but I had so much fun reading the posts shared for the Discover & Explore Build It! Theme.  There were so many creative ideas for little engineers!

    Great round up, Shaunna. I always say that my little guy is an engineer in training, so he’d love to do any of these.
