We are having so much fun with this book. We read about a certain part of the body (in a separate book, although this book does have some explanations in it) and then make the project that goes with it. You do need to photocopy them if you have more than one child or want to use them again. Once you've done that though it's color, cut, paste, etc.
My kids love the fun things they can wear or play with like the Brain Hat. As we color together we talk about what we're coloring and what it does in the body and examples of how it works, etc. It's a relaxing time to see what they've learned and to add a little more to their store of knowledge.
Very highly recommended if you have crafty kids or just want to add a hands-on element to your studies.
