Many things can be taught to children from a classroom; however, some of lifes most important learning experiences simply can’t be encapsulated in to a one hour lesson and the idea of mother nature, birth, growing and developing and the bond of family is one of those things; however thanks to the Window Nest Box from Hearthsong these things are a little easier to experience for the whole family. The Window Nest Box is not so much of a toy as it is a learning experience that the entire family can enjoy together. This clear-backed wooden bird box affixes to your window with clear suction cups and gives your whole family a peek in to the life of a nesting bird from start

to finish! This box allows children to see the process of nest building, egg laying, egg warming, egg hatching, feeding and lastly fledging baby birds all from the comfort of their home! This Window Nest Box is a really great way to chart the progress of mother nature as your child tracks the stages of the bird’s family life. The Window Nest Box measures 5 1/4" x 6 1/2" x 8 1/4".
You can find this window nestbox over at Hearthsong.com. I have seen similar nesting boxes and clear backed birdhouses; however, I have not found one as affordable as this before.

Science is one of those subjects that is great fun for children to learn because it is so very hands on, although because it is so very hands on it is often the least favored of subjects to teach at home! The Milestones in Science Kit is a great place to start for parents who are both unsure about the hands on aspect of teaching science at home as well as inexperienced with teaching science at home. This great kit brings together both science and history to teach your children about famous scientists and inventors as well as allowing them to reproduce some of the experiments that made these inventors and scientists so great! This kit comes with a 96-page book

|
|
which includes great illustrations to help your child through their experiments as well as teach them all about microelectronics, atoms, light, magnetism and more! This book covers more than 140 scientists and civilizations. The set includes 95 pieces and requires one 9V battery, it is recommended for children ages 10yrs+
You can find the Milstones in Science kit over at BackToBasicsToys.com. I have never seen a kit like this in any local retail stores to date.

As most of you know I try to stay away from big brand names when I scout out cool toys for kids; however, there are occasions when the value of a toy far outweighs the fact that it’s a big brand name toy and such is the case with the Fisher Price Fun 2 Learn Computer Cool School. This amazing set caught my eye initially when I saw it on Amazon for almost half price! This set comes with a kid friendly keyboard, writing tablet, stylus pen, and software which will help your preschoolers as well as your learning disabled children learn skills they need for school! Each software that comes with and can be purchased for this system has five different learning centers and

one field trip activity. Learning centers include reading, writing, math, art / music and science. Each software allows children to print out reward certificates and supplemental worksheet activities. This system is fast and easy to hook up to your home PC, using a USB cable and the games are easy to use with simple walk through instructions by friendly cartoon characters. The Fisher Price Fun 2 Learn Computer Cool School is recommended for children ages 3yrs+.
You can find the Fisher Price Fun 2 Learn Computer Cool School over at Amazon.com for almost half of it’s original price or you can check your local Target store; however, keep in mind that this system costs you almost $20 extra at Target!

behind passing gas and having stinky feet, mixing up batches of fake coagulating blood and making fake a intestine! Sure these things are also extremely gross to parents but they’re gross enough to keep those tweens busy with learning new facts while they play! This set is recommended for kids aged 8yrs+ since it includes experiments which may prove difficult for younger children. This is also a great set to use as a family!
