Education has a crucial role to play in the development of the country. The early years of childhood are vitally important to an individual's development since it is the period during which the maximum development of intellectual abilities occurs. The current educational system does not encourage students' creative participation. This system is often alien and unrelated to a child's environment.

Design education at the school level can develop creative thinking, innovative ideas, and the problem-solving capacity of the student. This can be introduced into the schools through craft teaching, where students can learn the craft and the basic principles of design simultaneously.

Bamboo craft is a well-developed craft in our country, which is going through a very bad phase at present. This craft could be introduced into the school curriculum with the necessary changes to suit the academic environment. The idea behind this workbook is to guide the teachers in planning and conducting this course in the most successful way among children of different ages. This book contains the necessary information about bamboo, bamboo crafts, and the basic tools required for working with bamboo. It also deals with the methodology by which this course should be conducted in the schools, through craft-oriented and academic-subject-oriented exercises. These exercises could be modified depending on the local conditions, like the availability of materials and facilities at the school, the reactions of the students, etc.
