There was a Russian children's book that I read so many times as a kid - I think it was called Happy Family, but my memory is fuzzy.

A big part of the book is a story about two boys (and the sister of one of the boys) creating an incubator at home to hatch eggs. It is a fascinating read - how they use books to adjust heat, how they take turns watching their home made incubator, how they are so sleep deprived that one of the boys wears shoes on opposite foot...

Today's kids grow up with smartphones and ready made robot kits. But there is a lot of charm in making things with whatever stuff is around you at home.
