Get them outside!

Instead of "plugged in" to computers, television, and video games all the time, children need to be outdoors exploring in natural settings. We know that children who play outdoors are happier, healthier, and smarter. It's not easy to unplug a child and reconnect to the natural world. Cindy Blobaum's book is exactly what parents need. This book teaches parents and children how to safely explore outdoors and open one's eyes to the wonders of nature. Children will be fascinated with their observations and will be thinking like a scientist. With home-made equipment and simple supplies, parents and children can find wonder and fascination in the world of insects. Teachers in formal and informal environmental or science education will also find the activities in Insectigations extremely useful. Elaine Gibson, Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History
