becoming an architect
My eleven-year-old nephew wants to be an architect (a roller-coaster designer, in particular) so for Christmas I've got him 'Frank Lloyd Wright for Kids': 'the story of a young man becoming a great architect as he uses his love of nature's colors and shapes in his unique designs'. This Junior Architect Magnet Set looks good, too (also in the FLW shop), and there are some terrific products in the Lego Architecture range. Do you have any tips for a budding roller-coaster designer?

Recommendations welcome!
Thank you :)
that's amazing! I remember I used to have a computer game where you could build a theme park. I don't remember what it was called, but it was really fun to build virtual roller coasters!
What a cool aunt you are! Google sketch up is pretty neat, and free if he's on a computer. He can design whatever he likes:)

Ooo, Google Sketch looks great! Thanks, Julie :)
AHHH....I wanted to be an architect when I was young (and then someone pretty much told me I couldn't do it - way to break a kids heart) so for your nephews sake I hope all his dreams come true, and he designs the worlds best roller coasters!!
What a brilliant gift...I didn't know you could get a FLW book for kid...am going to have to track it down. Thanks for sharing such a great find!
Raelynn, that's so sad :( Maybe you could do it now?
how interesting that he wants to do that!!! someone has to i guess!! i never really thought about until i met my friends brother who designs theme parks...he's working in tokyo now - so random!
