Aus dem Klappentext

Activities that make kids...and parents...happy:

Sock and Mitten People--Don't throw out stray socks or mittens. Now you can use them to make a whole theater of fabulous puppets for little people 8 months and up.

Magnetic Cars and Raceway--Combing the lure of race cars with the magic of magnets, this game for five-year-olds teaches basic physics and improves eye-hand coordination.

Can You Find Me?--For the littlest tots and toddlers, there's nothing more fascinating than you and the sound of your voice as they learn to listen and follow visual clues.

Blow and Go--Who hasn't blown the wrapper of a straw across a room? These activities let pre-school and kindergarten kids see the power of the puff...and learn about measuring without it feeling like school.

Little Me--Take some of your child's outgrown clothes, a baby-size doll or Teddy bear, and you can make a personalized keepsake you and your child will treasure.

Will It Float?--All you need is a bowl, basin--or a kid in a bathtub--and you can teach basic physics...and some challenging variations for older kids make this a science project bonanza!

Seashell Wind Chime--No child can resist collecting shells at the beach. Add a piece of driftwood, some fishing line, and ribbon, and he can feel like a professional crafter.

And master the most important lesson of all: How to Have Fun Together.
