AETHERDOME KIDS PRESENTS : THINGS AROUND THE HOUSE by Ameera Harrison

Hey Ya'll! Welcome to Aetherdome Kids!

This is where imagination doesn't need a big budget at all...just cardboard, a little glue, and a kid ready to build something extraordinary.

Every parent knows the feeling: a pile of cardboard boxes sitting by the recycling bin, and a kid who's bored five minutes into a screen-free afternoon. This is where Aetherdome comes in, a kids' craft series built entirely around everyday materials around the house, turned into castles, rockets, and props for real imaginative play.

Aetherdome Kids Volume 1: Cardboard Castles & Rockets is the launch point for the whole series compiled of ten hands-on projects built for ages 5 to 10, using cardboard boxes, toilet paper rolls, bottle caps, and paint you likely already have at home. No expensive craft kits, no single-use plastic toys, and no assumption that creativity needs a big budget to happen.

Inside, you'll find 10 projects that turn ordinary materials into something extraordinary.

Every project uses materials already sitting around most homes — cardboard, toilet paper rolls, bottle caps, paint — with clear, numbered steps written for kids to follow with just the right amount of adult help where cutting or assembly calls for it. No obscure supplies, no expensive craft store trips, and no pretending imaginative play needs to come from a box off a shelf.

This book is for the parents looking for a screen-free afternoon, the kids who love to build and pretend, and anyone who believes a cardboard box can become a castle if you look at it the right way. You don't need more money to spark imagination — you just need what's already in your recycling bin, and a little bit of everyday magic.

This is for every rainy afternoon turned into an adventure. This is for every empty box that became something more.

Grab your scissors...and your imagination...and let's start building
