I love this book! There's so much out there on the Internet, but I found this book brings more to the table and rather than just give cute projects, there are well thought out explanations to each project and expansion activities as well. Great pictures and very appealing to kids

What an amazing resource for fun things to do with your kids! I purchased all three books and I must say they are all wonderful and well worth the investment. We have completed several of the projects already and plan to do some every week. There are so many fun things and variations that it will take us all year to complete and then we can start all over again! What I love most about the projects is most of them use every day things you have at your house and if you don't have something it's not an expensive item to buy especially if you are a member of Sams or Costco. I highly recommend the liquid watercolors as they are fun to work with, do not stain and have a much more vibrant color. I honestly don't know who is having more fun, the kids playing in all of our creations or me getting to prepare and make the projects! It is fun for the entire family and gives you plenty to do inside or outside. The learning that happens is absolutely wonderful!!

I bought this for a 4 year old's birthday present. Great ideas to prompt your child to interact with parents as well as nature! I put this in a basket along with some supplies to start some project and it made a great gift!

I fell in love with Asia's first book 150+ Screen-Free Activities for Kids: The Very Best and Easiest Playtime Activities from FunAtHomeWithKids.com! as well as her second The Curious Kid's Science Book: 100+ Creative Hands-On Activities for Ages 4-8. When I learned that she was coming out with a third book, I pre-ordered instantly! And we have not been disappointed. My kids love looking through the book for ideas to play outside and they don't even realize that they are learning! Highly recommended!

I got it as a gift for a little girl my daughter knows. The girl is very shy and doesn't seem to have a lot of interests except for the usual (Barbies, Disney stuff etc.). I was very concerned so thought this book might expand her horizons without being out and out "scientific." Well, she loved this book. I'd gotten another book by the same author with similar results so decided to try this and was very happy with the results.
