Building Tips

The Color and Shape of the Struts Point the Way

Each Zome System strut connects to holes of matching shapes. Blue struts fit into rectangular holes; yellow struts into triangular holes, and red struts into pentagonal holes. This makes it easy to build complex models.

Always Tighten the Connections as You Build

Make sure each stub goes all the way into the hole, with the shoulder of the strut tight to the face of each node. Keep tightening up all the parts of your model as you go. Keep your hands close together, always apply pressure along the length of the strut.

It's OK to Bend the Struts

Sometimes to fit a strut into a tight spot, you will need to bend the strut slightly between your fingers before you insert it. Make sure that nearby connections are tight, then place the stub of one end into a hole and bend the strut until the other end pops in.

Environmental Education

Snails Live in Houses Too

List of Libraries holding this book

Environmental education is important for our children from their earliest years so they can grow up with the knowledge, skills and attitudes required to take environmentally responsible actions.

Snails live in houses too: Environmental education for the early years provides many teaching strategies and experiences which can be integrated into all aspects of the early childhood program with the aim of encouraging children to be environmentally aware.

" To Froebel belongs the credit for finding the true nature of play and regulating it to lead naturally into work. The same spontaneity and joy, the same freedom and serenity that characterise the plays of childhood are realised in all human activity. The gifts and occupations are the living connection which makes both play and work expressions of the same creative activity. " W N Hailmann

" there is substantial value in the exercises of the Kindergarten, which pleasurably bring out the active powers of the children - their powers of observation, judgement, and invention - and make them at once apt in doing as well as learning " Professor Payne 1874
