	As an activity for very young children it provides an excellent way to develop fine motor skills, simple tool techniques, spacial awareness - and have fun! Older children can build quite large and complex working models with a minimum of specialist equipment and use them to better understand '''[[:Category:Structures ~~and Environments~~\|Structures]]''', '''[[:Category:Mechanisms\|Mechanisms]]''' and related aspects of mathematics or science.

	'''Stripwood Technology''' is taken to be that which makes use of thin strips of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Softwood '''Softwood'''] or [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dyera_costulata '''Jelutong'''], mainly 8mm square up to 12mm square, which are used to reinforce card or are themselves joined together by thin card reinforcements - or [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gusset_plate '''Gussets''']. The technique can be combined with '''[[Box Modelling]]''' and used to create working models by children of all ages!
