Pint-Size Science: Finding-Out Fun for You and Your Young Child

This is a small book, but each lesson in it has several activities that are fun, packed with learning potential, and easy to put together. Few of them require much preparation at all, and in general they use items that are easily located in the house.

All the books in this series are user friendly and the activities use materials that you have on hand. I have often referred to them when trying to occupy my 3 year old son in a way that is also fun for me. In fact we played the float-a-boat game today. In addition to the actual activity, the author also gives little hints designed to improve your child's problem solving skills. My only disappointment is that these books are not as readily available as they once were.
