I first picked this book up at the library. Now that I have to return it, I realize that I need to own it. There are so many wonderful activities and ideas in this book. I'm excited to do more of the activities in the spring and summer. I have 4 year old twins and a 20 month old and all 3 children have loved the activities so far. The book is for ages 2-6.

I ordered this book to go along with my son's upcoming science curriculum. I wish I would've found this book when my daughter's were in preschool. This book has the CUTEST and most SIMPLEST project ideas and recipes in it! This is science at first glance for little ones. It's JUST right for their little curious minds. It's not too in depth, not too complicated, not overly expensive for the projects, and it's also fun! I flipped through this book in planning his upcoming school year and I couldn't stop thinking how every homeschooled parent of preschoolers and even kindergarteners should have this book! Most of the projects call for supplies that are EASY to find and some require a little ahead prep work, but nothing most parents couldn't swing together the morning of the lesson.

I purchased this book for my daughter's second birthday, which is in May. I was hoping to use many of the ideas over the summer vacation. Since I am a teacher, I was looking for new ideas that would keep us both busy and help her learn more about science by experiencing it. I do have to say that the majority of these ideas- although educational, and require limited supplies, are more geared for probably age 3 and up. We didn't use too many ideas this summer, but I am looking forward to doing a lot more with this book next summer when she is 3.
The book itself is visually appealing. Some of the Williamson books are not in full color, but this one is. (I love that)! It is well-organized as well.
Can't wait to start using it more!

Good book for older kids
Some good ideas, but their age range of 2-6 is a bit skewed....there are only a handful of projects that my 2 year old was capable of and/or interested in. Read more
