55 playful experiments that encourage tinkering, curiosity, and
creative thinking from the creator of Tinkerlab.com--hands-on
activities that explore art, science, and more. For children up to
six years old.
Kids are natural tinkerers. They experiment, explore, test, and
play, and they learn a great deal about problem-solving through
questions and hands-on experiments. They don't see lines between
disciplines; rather, they notice interesting materials and ideas
that are worth exploring. This book is about creative experiments,
in all fields, that help kids explore the world.
Children gravitate toward sensory experiences (playing with slime),
figuring out how things work (taking toys apart), and testing the
limits of materials (mixing a tray of paint together until it makes
a solid mass of brown). They're not limited by their imaginations,
and a wooden spoon can become a magic wand as quickly as a bag of
pom-poms can become a hot bowl of soup. This book is about helping
parents and teachers of babies, toddlers, and preschoolers
understand and tap into this natural energy with engaging,
kid-tested, easy-to-implement projects that value process over
product. The creative experiments shared in this book foster
curiosity, promote creative and critical thinking, and encourage
tinkering--mindsets that are important to children growing up in a
world that values independent thinking.
In addition to offering a host of activities that parents and
teachers can put to use right away, this book also includes a
buffet of recipes (magic potions, different kinds of play dough,
silly putty, and homemade butter) and a detailed list of materials
to include in the art pantry.
