This is going to be a blog that aims to share ideas about how to get kids involved in wargaming in a way that suits their age and abilities, exercises their imaginations, teaches them new skills, doesn't take ages, and uses cheap and cheerful materials. There are lots of places on the internet that will tell you how to craft wargaming stuff, but even the best of those are aimed at adults, and the materials and processes involved can often make the project unsuitable for children of primary school age. I have two children aged 5 and 8. and I'm going to try and pitch my projects at this sort of age group- using the old Blue Peter 'makes' as a blueprint. I'll also be talking about rules, but to a lesser extent.
