view | Practical Drafting This volume is an excellent practical overview of drafting-the language of engineering. Designed to be used by students without any outside instruction, every lesson can be accomplished by hand with common drafting tools (such as a t-square, triangle, mechanical pencil, etc.). Lessons can also be repeated on the computer using a CAD program (download for free from the internet or purchase). Lessons will expose the student to many types of drafting and standards. Info includes how to use drafting tools, letter, create geometric shapes, sketch models, surface texture, perspective, and much more. Spiral bound, 136 pages, for ages 14 and up.

view | Typing Instructor Deluxe We live in an age when being able to use a computer keyboard is a necessity. I like to teach my children to type while still quite young. It gives them the freedom of being able to get their thoughts down on paper long before they have the fine muscle coordination to tirelessly handwrite out a story or journal entry. Besides, they can do it! Typing Instructor is unsurpassed for teaching quality, and the format is plenty of fun. After the lesson, you can choose from 60 music selections (or silence) to type along with, and the typing practice can be chosen from hundreds of interesting magazine-type articles on all subjects. There are fun arcade games to prove your efficiency at every level. We've tried lots of programs, but this rates #1 with us!

view | Knots I bought my copy of Knots way back when my first son was a cub scout trying to pass off his square knot! It has been passed down as a favorite from child to child. Nylon cord, color coded to the illustrations, is tied through holes on each heavy board page, allowing the reader to practice all 24 knots, hitches, wraps and ties next to the helpful step-by-step, how-to instructions. 21 pages, wirebound, comes with 5 feet of nylon knotting cord. This intriguing, entertaining book teaches some very practical know-how skills!
