Dig into the marvels of planet Earth with 50 nifty activities for kids. About the spectrum of geologic phenomena -- including plate tectonics, continental drift, minerals, volcano, earth-quakes, rocks, crystals, mountain and valley formation, erosion, fossils, and much more! Search for all kinds of treasures right beneath your feet as you learn about different kinds of rocks and minerals. Make sandstone just like canyons in the Southwest; imitate the look of marble with special painting techniques; make a fossil cast that looks a million years old; build with miniature adobe bricks; watch crystals grow; even bake cookies that look like metamorphic rock (but taste great!). Color photos of kids and Mother Nature in action make this activity book both amusing and educational.

<p>If you'd rather be outdoors than anyplace else, if you like to bring home cones and leaves and rocks but never know what to do with them, then Nature Crafts for Kids is for you. Organized by season, the more than 50 outdoor projects will show you how to learn by doing, as well as by looking and reading. You'll dig for clay in a creek bank, make pinch pots just as Native Americans did hundreds of years ago, and build a sawdust kiln that really works. There's even an ant house and a worm farm, candles sculpted in sand, a "stained glass" project made from autumn leaves and a cement birdbath. Recommended for ages 8+. Not recommended for children under eight years of age. Some projects require adult supervision.</p>
