Description
Small Wonders: Nature Education for Young Children 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.
