The start of each project includes a list of components to get ready and then step-by-step illustrations. Crafty little blurbs are strategically placed around each page that tell the child “Watch it Work” and “Why it Works”. Other blurbs such as “Smarty Pants”, “FYI”, “Brain Teaser”, and “History Buff” are tactically placed around each project. The child would never guess how much they are learning. Many of the projects have a section called “Zany Idea” or “Just for Fun” that invites the child to try different variations on the original activity. All materials are included so there is no need for scrounging around once you get started on a project. Only quality proven components are used in the kits to insure the best results in each experiment. All kits are carefully Parent and Kid Tested.
