This resource, aimed at children ages 5 to 7, contains five design and technology projects that focus on bicycles. Children evaluate bicycle designs, then design and make: bicycle parts and accessories for characters from a book, teddy or for a particular purpose. Throughout the activities, children are encouraged to consider the needs of the rider, to carry out research, to communicate ideas, to solve problems, work collaboratively and to evaluate designs in light of the design brief.
