SketchUp books for kids

Posted by Tasha Danko, Marketing Functionary

Our long-time friend Bonnie Roskes, who's written books on SketchUp, is now writing SketchUp books for kids (which only makes sense, since she has a bunch of kids herself). Children learn SketchUp pretty quickly, but there isn’t much educational material out there just for them. Bonnie’s new “ModelMetricks” series includes 11 books with lots of fun and colorful projects that kids will love. Parents and teachers love them, too - how often do kids log quality hours on the computer? Bonnie’s site also has some free kids’ activities – great for keeping your kids off the streets during summer vacation.


For you K-12 educators out there (or if you happen to know any), Bonnie also has a Free Teacher Guide. It's full of suggested SketchUp projects for all ages in a variety of subjects. They make it easy for you to introduce SketchUp to your classes.

Amazing, you have made my day. Being a faculty in Architecture and also the father of five year kid, I enjoy talking, teaching and learning sketchup. The resources at f1forKids would definitely help me talk with better content and now I see directions very clearly. I plan to send this list (at F1) to many kids and parents in India soon. Thanks for amazing work. can I open a sketchup school for kids in India? Google, are you listening?

Great stuff, thanks very much. I'm always on the hunt for great children's books and have recently discovered Bayard and their series of StoryBoxBooks, AdventureBoxBooks, DiscoveryBoxBooks They have work by acclaimed children's books illustrator Helen Oxenbury appearing in the Storybox series for September. In addition to this, they also have some great activities for rainy days: http://www.storyboxbooks.com/potatoprinting.php, http://www.adventureboxbooks.com/macaroni-picture-frames.php, http://www.discoveryboxbooks.com/skittles.php Enjoy!

That is seriously awesome : ) These kids are going to view tools like this so very very differently from my generation, we tend to view tools like this as a bolt on rather than a natural extension of ourselves.
