BuilderBooks Introduces Kid-Friendly Educational Tools

A new line of kid-friendly tools designed to educate children and new home buyers about the home construction process is being published by BuilderBooks.com.

Initial offerings are “Build It! The Card Game” and “Build It! The Coloring Book.” Both follow a real-life construction process, from completing site work through the final inspection of a house.

The card game matches the skills of up to six players. As they play, they learn the step-by-step home building process, while trying to keep their house code compliant and their job site safe.

The card game sells for $15 and the coloring book is $6.50. NAHB members receive a discount. They can be ordered online or call 800-223-2665.
