"""Kitchen Science for Toddlers is a must-read for all parents of young children! Not only are the activities fun and easy to facilitate, most of the ingredients required for the experiments are already found in your pantry. My kids were entertained, and I actually learned some exciting science concepts! Highly recommend!"" --Rabbi Ariel Boxman, preschool director ""Melissa Mazur's experience as a preschool science teacher and parent to young children has given her unique insight into what excites young minds. The colorful illustrations and fascinating experiments capture the attention and imaginations of little ones everywhere. They will have so much fun, they won't even realize they are learning!"" --Jacqueline Ardoline, preschool teacher ""Simply put, Kitchen Science for Toddlers is fantastic! As a teacher of young children, science is one of the hardest subjects to plan. The experiments must grab the child's attention, yet be simple and safe for them to implement. This book offers many adaptable experiments. The simple, concise explanations of science vocabulary encourage exploration beyond the experiment. The ""how it works"" sections are perfectly written for little ones to understand, and the ""messy meter"" and ""time needed"" are fantastic for adults! I will use this book as a staple in my classroom, and will give a copy to my nieces, whom I know will love it!"" --Kim Durston, preschool teacher ""The activities in this book build a great foundation to the scientific method and enhance inquiry skills that can carry over to more advanced topics as children develop their scientific thinking. Kids and parents alike will have fun while learning in the kitchen."" --Gina Szczodrowski, elementary educator and parent"
