Bubbles, Rainbows & Worms: Science Experiments For Preschool Children

by Sam Ed Brown

"Why did that happen?", "How does that work?", "What will happen if..?". Young children ask questions about the world around them all day long. They are filled with curiosity and the desire to learn. Bubbles, Rainbows, and Worms teaches children about the world using hands-on experiments with plants, the environment, air and water, and the senses. Back by popular demand and completely updated, this was the first book published by Gryphon House.

I got this at the library specifically because it says "pre-school children" on it. So many children's science books are for children that are older -- complex conceptions or experiments beyond a four-year-old's ability. There's not too much of that here, but it's still not that great of a collection. I feel like I'm looking for some mythical book of preschool activities that are truly quality: akin to Don't Move the Muffin Tins: A Hands-Off Guide to Art for the Young Child but with science projects.

Very appropriate, simple experiments for my 2 1/2 year old. I like that there are a variety of things to do that build on each subject or theme, so that the child has many different interactions with it.
