blessed2fosteradopt Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 I am looking for something hands on, light and fun other than Mudpies to Magnets and Everyboy has a Body. Thanks all! Blessings, Lisa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pata Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 Williamson has a book called Science Play, it looks like a lot of fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aludlam Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 We love the "Let's Read and Find Out" series. Most books have hands on activities in the text. hth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farrar Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 We also like the Let's Read and Find Out books. Also, we had Usborne's Science Things to Make and Do which was mostly PK appropriate and fun. Also, there's a book called Simple Science, which is a whole PK science curriculum (intended for schools, but very easily adaptable) which has some great suggestions.

cmarango Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 What sort of science are you looking for? I have started putting together an insect study (see my blog) for my dd that is a bunch of books and observation oriented. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have started putting together an insect study (see my blog) for my dd that is a bunch of books and observation oriented. I am open to anything. I just want light and fun with some hands on. I will definitely check out your blog. Thank you! Blessings, Lisa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aoife Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 we use the little labs science kits by thames and kosmos along with the berenstien bears big book of science and nature. The stepping into science kit is the one we are using now and DS is having a blast with it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lisa in the UP of MI Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 We love the Let's Read and Find Out series, too. We also use and enjoy the book Sandbox Scientist. It slightly formalizes informal science explorations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blessed2fosteradopt Posted July 28, 2010 Author Share Posted July 28, 2010 Am I correct in assuming that with the Let's Read and Find Out books the levels pertain to age? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am looking at Science is Simple right now - I have it at the library. I do like it. Thanks for the suggestions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, though if your kids have a long attention span and an interest in the topic they would probably like some of the level two books. DS is also 4 and he will listen in to pretty much any picture book. Some of the information might be over their heads but they would still get a lot out of them.
