Science Adventures
Praise for More Mudpies to Magnets:
"Highly recommended for teachers and parents who wish to expand their child's world... It proves what we all once knew, Science is Fun!"
—Children's Book Briefs
"With more than 100 experiments, there is plenty of material for several school years. For an early learning experience with science, this is the book for parents of preschoolers. But it also grows with your youngster if you take advantage of the included suggestions... and your own creative spirit!"
—The Guide Homeschooling newsletter
"This book and the original Mudpies to Magnets are my best choices for simple, one-page science activities. Although the books contain a wealth of knowledge and experiments, none of the material is overwhelming for the adult participant... each of the experiments that we have tried are fun for children and adults."
—The Science Spiders
"The book offers a great introduction to many sciences for a child. The experiments can be completed without a lot of preparation and can be enjoyed on various levels by all aged children. it is appropriate for homeschoolers or anyone that enjoys homemade projects and homemade fun."
