A Little Bit of Dirt: 55+ Science and Art Activities to Reconnect Children with Nature

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!!

We love this book! So much fun with science in nature.

This is a fantastic resource for a classroom or family. We use this with the Torchlight Pre-K curriculum. My 2 and 4-year-old have been very engaged by the projects, which are simple and doable for any household. The materials are things most people will have around the house already or else are easy to acquire. I love that the projects are things that can be done along with a normal routine of going and exploring new places with your kids. This could definitely work as a preschool science curriculum— just get kids outside discovering! Highly recommend for any classroom or homeschool teacher!

Excellent reading, very instructive

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.

I just purchased A Little Bit of Dirt to use in my family daycare. There are so many great ideas and activities in this book that are easy to do with the kids. They have already marked several pages in the book. I know they and I will have a blast with this book!

Love all her books and ingenious ideas for children. I use this not only at home but as a teacher I use in all of my preschool classes

Colourful guide packed with simple but fun ideas. Useful for teachers, childminders, holiday leaders.

Very helpful to teachers like me

Her books are all amazing and have kept us busy all summer. Highly recommended.

We are going to have so much fun with these ideas

Great
