Science Play (Little Hands!)

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 am not sure how much use I would have gotten from this book when my daughter was younger than 3. We sure are enjoying it now. The book is large and cutely illustrated with very easy go-to experiments with many things you may have on hand or are very easily accessible. There are a lot of ideas in here and most do not take much time at all. Perfect for curious children and perfect length of time for each activity. Short, intriguing and mesmerizing activities keep the quest for knowledge and the desire to find out things, very strong. Great book. I really was pleasantly surprised when I opened the package. I had debated getting the book for a while. Glad I got it.

Fantastic book, really a great product! My only complaint was that when I received the book it was bent and rolled in places but this is a packaging problem not a product issue.

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!

As a first time mom, I have a hard time explaining science to my little one. I feel like this helps me word science correctly so that her little curious mind can understand me without thinking that everything around her is rocket science. It also gives you plenty of activities so that family time is always fun!

This book is pretty neat but i think that it is more geared toward 2-3 year olds. Some of the activities in it are still great for 4-6 year olds to do but they really don't offer much education for the experiments. There is a lack of scientific explanation for the experiments -- the book poses questions like "what happens?" but doesn't offer any explanations as to why. An example: go out on a walk in the rain. See what happens. See what you see.or : Sock Walk, put a pair of old socks on over your shoes and walk through a dry field, see what seeds/ plants/ insects stick to your socks.or: mix glitter/ confetti in a jar with water, tie a string to it and wear it around your neck-- hop jump and run, what happens to the contents of the jar?If your looking for fun and easy scientific activities for the 2-3 age group its cool. If your looking for science for the 4-6 age group you'll need to do some additional research to make it more educational.

This book is an excellent was to introduce young children into the fun and exciting world of science. My children love to try new things and this was a great way to get them to learn about science. It was easy to read and fun to do.

A nice book full of great ideas

I am having lot's of fun with my 4 year old and this book.It's giving me great ideas and she is really learning lot's and having fun!

loads of interesting activities to make science interesting for my kids. love the ideas!
