This is one of the most interesting children's activity books I have ever seen. There is cool things like dying flowers, creating worm gardens, flower pinwheels and more. I wish my kids were still small so they'd be more keen on doing these exercises inside. I will be doing the flower dying on my own, come special holidays and stuff.
Definitely not activities without parental supervision, but are worth it!

Another DK book that is big, colorful, and full of nature learning. If you have or if you work with young kids, you'll love this book and its nature crafts and activities. It has as many crafts as it does science experiences but the crafts are rather scientific too (parachutes and windmills do teach about the wind and its power and properties).

Great experiments for little kids to do at home or preschool. I loved the layout and design: easy to follow instructions, colorful photos, sturdy pages, and flaps readers can lift to reveal simple explanations of the science.
