Caution: YOUR KIDS WILL WANT TO MAKE STUFF IF YOU GET THIS BOOK! There is something for all kinds of kids: scientists, chefs, pilots, musicians, artist, drivers, engineers, sailors, gardeners, and more! Color photos provide clear instruction, and most materials are household in nature. A glossary provides an extra vocabulary lesson. The large, hardcover book lies open nicely – which is a practical feature. Some activities include a lemon battery, breathing machine, density tower, icy orbs, and an odd little shoe box plant. Fascinating stuff and completely unplugged! 28 projects in all. Some will require adult supervision (noted). ~Sara
