This guidebook offers young children their first toolkit for hands-on problem-solving, transforming everyday household repairs and discarded materials into engaging projects. It introduces fundamental DIY skills through accessible activities like sewing on buttons, gluing broken objects, and patching holes with tape. The approach is wonderfully straightforward, focusing on simple, achievable tasks rather than overwhelming technical details, making the world of fixing and creating feel immediately within reach. Children learn practical life skills while discovering the satisfaction of giving broken or unwanted items a second life.

What sets this manual apart is its emphasis on creative repurposing and upcycling, guiding kids to see potential in "junk" by turning it into art or useful objects like plant pots. It's ideally suited for the budding handyperson who is curious and ready to try but needs a gentle, confidence-building starting point. The projects foster independence, resourcefulness, and a tangible sense of accomplishment from making real-world repairs. This book successfully plants the seeds for a lifelong maker mindset by showing that creativity and capability are just a few simple steps away.
