Introducing Science to Children a Fun Way!

By Evelyn J. Mocbeichel

Science and math are two subjects many children are apprehensive about learning. These are under- in the beginning stages. Parents and teachers need to discover ways to entice children about these topics. Finding ways to enthuse children in these areas has always been the ambition of educators that teach either of these courses. Young children are easy to stimulate and to become enthusiastic about things that are new to them. With the right tool, the subject can also be fun. Parents are the ones who shop for toys and educational materials for their children when it comes to birthdays or special occasions. Here’s an idea for a way to digress from everyday toys that might spark an interest in the world of science. There are there wonderful kits for arts and crafts and items that specialize in science related experiences for these educational items in certain areas of a toy store that feature “learning” as the basis for the toy. Some malls have a specialty store that features toys, games and kits that are exclusive to the world of science. These stores have areas devoted to the solar system, animal kingdom, archeology and a host of fascinating topics for children and students of all ages. With spring here and summer just around the corner, the world of nature is blooming around us and perfect for topics that will interest young children!

My favorite source for science related gift ideas comes from a catalog called “Insect Lore”. Featuring items where “nature comes alive”, this company has been a popular resource for educators and parents alike. Preschool children adore hearing and learning about all kinds of insects and plant life. This company offers containers of live bugs to be grown and cultivated come with a small jar and then are transplanted into a large cardboard “viewing box” with clear plastic windows. Available in the springtime, these larvae grow into caterpillars and then spin into their cocoons. A specially treated feeder is included in the kit to feed the caterpillars. After a short period of time, the caterpillar weaves its cocoon and then completing the cycle. No child has watched this process without being left wide-eyed from the experience! To accompany this unit the catalog videos to fully explain and reinforce the metamorphosis process. If worms, silkworms, ladybugs, ants, praying mantis, or spiders are favorites in your youngster’s world, there are related items to study in these categories, too. Children can experience the wonder and magic of silk production with a lifecycle kit. For a free catalog call the company 1 800 LIVE BUG (1 800 548 – 3284) or visit their website www.insectlore.com One of these gifts may set the child onto a fantastic journey into areas never dreamed about before and perhaps a career path least expected!
