Small Wonders

Small Wonders introduces children ages three through kindergarten to the natural world in a special way. Based on a hands-on educational approach, children learn about their environment by seeing and doing. The accurate, scientific content is wrapped in age-appropriate exercises, experiments, and explorations that use children's imagination and natural curiosity.

• Fact-filled essays introduce each subject
• Field-tested activities encourage exploration and discovery
• Scientifically accurate drawings illustrate topics and are incorporated into lessons
• A multidisciplinary approach integrates developmentally appropriate activities in science, language arts, movement, music, and visual arts
• Includes twenty-four nature exploration units grouped around three themes: growth and change, animal homes, and connections to nature

Small Wonders is a perfect tool for teachers, parents, child care providers, camp counselors, and others to spark young children's interests in the environment that surrounds them.
