Nature Smart
   Last year we recommended a book (Nature Crafts for Kids)  that subsequently went out of print.  However, we have great news!  The book as been reprinted in its entirety  along with two other similar books (Kid Style Nature Crafts and Ecology Crafts for kids) -all in this volume!  
   Don't waste your money on any other craft books!  You will not be able to find such beautiful, relevant, interesting, and educational crafts in any other book (except for it's companion book, Science Smart)! I know because I've looked at them all! 
   This is the best craft book around, and actually provides a well rounded science study too!  Unlike many craft books that produce what I consider junk and clutter, this one has children making useful and beautiful crafts and projects. 

-Some topics that are  covered are water cycle, birds' wings, bird sounds, moths, shells, bugs, hummingbirds, bats, plants, wild veggies, flowers' shapes and colors, fish, wasps, trees, leaves, vines, frost, gourds, roots, veggies, chili peppers, seeds, ice, snow, animal vision, the night sky, herbs, and more!  (There are not only projects and crafts to go along with these studies, but interested pages covering the topics in depth!)
-A few of the projects and crafts include grass mat, butterfly hatchery, willow whistles, stepping stones, herbal vinegars, garden trellis, potpourri, twig wreath, dyes, notecards, basket out of twigs, drum, apple crisp (yum!), twig shelf, and many more!

$17.96  (10% off retail because we think you need it!)
Appropriate for all grades!
-We also sell the companion book: Nature Smart!

The History of Medicine
This is one of the most useful "living" books I have come across.  Well-written and interesting biographies of important biological scientists (from ancient times onward ) and their most famous discoveries will bring medicine (and the human body) alive for your child.

The Human Body
This large book will make biology absolutely fascinating for your child.  Organized as a fantastic journey through the body's "control centers" (such as the nervous system and the brain), "frameworks" (such as skin and bones), and "supplies and demands" (such as digestion and blood), each section contains irresistible diversions into heroes of science, fun facts, and hands-on experiments.
